On June 18, Seville hosted one of the sessions of the Tour AB Talks 2026: Workplace Wellbeing and High Business Performance, an initiative driven by Ágora Bienestar and Valorian that, between March and June 2026, has traveled to various Spanish cities with the aim of bringing professionals, companies and institutions closer to success stories, innovations and good practices in workplace wellbeing and organizational health. The session was opened by Pilar Bueno, Director General of Labor of the Regional Government of Extremadura, and by María Moreno, director of Ágora Bienestar, and featured the opening lecture by Miguel Venegas, chairman of Valorian, on the new paradigm in labor relations.
The core of the afternoon was the roundtable Success Stories and Keys to Workplace Wellbeing for High Business Performance, moderated by Javier Sánchez, national coordinator of Union Action at Valorian. The panel brought together wellbeing and prevention leaders from organizations in different sectors: Agustín Delgado, Occupational Risk Prevention coordinator at Hospital Vithas Sevilla; Elena Horcajo, head of Organizational Wellbeing Strategy and Monitoring at Navantia; José Miguel García, sales director for Pension Plans and Institutions at Ibercaja Pensión; and Ignacio Lijarcio, chairman of FESVIAL (Spanish Road Safety Foundation). Carlos Pascual, founding partner and director of Singular Beacon, rounded out the panel, contributing the perspective of technology applied to measuring and managing organizational wellbeing.

In his remarks, Carlos Pascual argued that turning wellbeing into a strategic indicator requires addressing three dimensions sequentially: the automation and exploitation of information through computationally complex analyses; advanced analytics with validated KPIs, natural language processing and experiment design that makes it possible to establish causal relationships between wellbeing and outcomes; and data quality as a prerequisite, through questionnaires developed with scientific rigor and standardized to allow comparisons over time. He also spoke about the role of artificial intelligence, arguing that technology can automate and scale, but it cannot take on responsibility or reason with the depth of the human brain. AI should be understood as a resource at the service of people, not as their substitute.
Singular Beacon's participation in the Tour AB Talks 2026 reinforces the consultancy's positioning in the field of technology applied to organizational wellbeing, an area in which it is currently working with its project Observatorio 360º: a platform for measuring, analyzing and managing organizational wellbeing that combines technological automation, scientific assurance and advanced data visualization. Its presence at this forum also consolidates Singular Beacon's ties with the leading venues for national business debate.
