Webinar details
Workplace mental health isn’t just about supporting people to cope with workplace stress or helping workers in distress. The ‘new normal’ for workplace mental health is for workplace cultures to be psychologically safe and for work-related factors that can impact on mental health to be managed.
WorkWell is trialling best-practice interventions for preventing mental injury. Hear from two organisations piloting projects in manufacturing, and share in the evidence and learnings from these leaders about how they are successfully influencing and improving mental health outcomes for their workers.
