overview
The inaugural Mental Health at Work Conference will take place on 7th- 8th March 2022 at Rydges World Square, Sydney. It will also be available virtually.
Prioritising mental health at work has accelerated due to the enduring impact COVID-19 has had on the mental health of employees. Workplaces have been presented with a new set of challenges in managing employee mental health and wellbeing as they adapt to remote working and distorted lines between home and work, all whilst navigating ongoing uncertainty and economic constraints.
Strong leadership, an organisation with a clear and actionable mental health strategy, and a shift towards building mental health into workplace culture will all contribute towards creating psychologically safe workplaces that support employees in maintaining their wellbeing and build resiliency, ultimately benefiting the overall performance and productivity of their organisation.
The Mental Health at Work Conference will explore how organisations are adapting and rethinking their approach to mentally healthy workplaces by making a genuine commitment to employee mental health and wellbeing. The conference will explore actionable strategies and share practical case studies for managers to take away to better support employees in the ‘new normal’ of remote working, creating workplaces that invest in the mental health and wellbeing of its people by building a psychologically positive and connected workplace.
