Have you ever wondered who is truly responsible for mental health in your workplace?
I sit down with Peta Slocombe, a distinguished psychologist and the founder of Performance Story, to tackle this pressing question. We talk about the roles of HR and safety teams, uncovering the systemic issues that often lead to fragmented efforts in addressing mental health and wellbeing at work.
We discuss the disconnect between HR and safety teams, especially in high-risk industries like mining and construction. Peta shares invaluable insights from her extensive experience, highlighting the critical need for comprehensive and integrated mental health strategies. We'll also explore the recent legislative changes that are pushing organisations to take a more proactive approach in managing psychosocial hazards.
Whether you're an HR professional, a manager, or just someone passionate about mental health, this episode offers practical steps and fresh perspectives to help create healthier, happier workplaces.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Connect with me on LinkedIn and share your experiences or any questions you might have about improving mental health in your organisation. Together, we can foster better workplaces for everyone.
