Why Psychosocial Safety Is a No Brainer for Business Leaders
Description
Australia now has perhaps the strongest legislation in the world for psychosocial safety, but compliance is far from the most compelling reason to embrace a risk management approach to mentally healthy work. Speaking from more than a decade leading the way in Canada, Mary Ann Baynton will demonstrate the real benefits of psychologically healthy work for employees, businesses, and the communities they serve.
