ACA NSW/ACT: Creating Mentally Healthy Workplaces
About
Poor mental health costs Australian businesses 39 billion dollars per year. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Workplaces not only have the power to protect mental health but can also serve as a factor to help people thrive. So how do we get organisations to sit up and take action? And for those that are ready, where do you start?This session cuts through the noise with research-backed insights into why mentally healthy workplaces make good business sense — and practical tools for building one, including the Five Ways to Wellbeing framework.
ACA NSW/ACT Committee Member Hamish Ginn (SJB) will then speak about how the ACA supports wellbeing in practice. He will introduce the Employee Assistance Program, and point members towards the wider suite of resources the ACA offers.
