SECOND SESSION
Presenter: Lara Ellson, Associate Strategic Growth, Aurecon – How connection drives safety outcomes
Engaged employees who have meaningful work, quality connections and an opportunity to have their opinions heard have better safety outcomes than disengaged teams. Lara will share practical ways that line managers and colleagues can improve connection on any project and how this creates the link to improved mental health outcomes, high performing teams and excellent project delivery.
Presenter: Dylan Ogilvie, General Manager Operations, Melchor – Are they really okay? Supporting mental health at work.
Good mental health at work and good management go hand in hand. When we create workplace cultures where people can be themselves, it is easier for people to speak about mental health concerns without fear and reach out for help when they need it.
