Uplifting employee well-being, mental health and resilience

While the concept of psychological health isn’t new, it hasn’t been comprehensively addressed in workplace injury legislation until now. This is despite the fact that, over the past decade, there has been an increase in psychological health issues, and a decrease in the rate of physical injuries, in the workplace.

There is also growing evidence to support something that we all know – better mental health leads to thriving employees, decreases absenteeism, improves engagement and job satisfaction, reduces turnover and increases attraction of top talent.

While most organisations are bought into the idea of psycho-social safety. The practicality of it leaves most leaders flummoxed – from defining what a safe workplace looks like and the role of the employer in facilitating that.

Public Sector Network’s Managing Psycho-Social Safety in the Workplace has been developed to equip HR leaders with insights to identify the risks and opportunities for growth. Further it will empower participants with insights into neuro-biology and its implications on behaviour and well-being. And finally they will learn about practices, accommodations and practices to uplift well-being and resilience at work.

Through a mix of presentations, discussion and activities attendees will gain ready-to apply insights to boost psycho-social safety at work, uplift productivity and improve engagement and create a workplace in which employees can thrive.
