SUMMARY:Leading Mentally Healthy Teams (Oranges Toolkit Wellbeing Masterclass Series)
DESCRIPTION:This is a great intro to support modern leaders create the conditions for their teams to thrive. \nWhen people feel mentally healthy\, they’re better equipped to perform well at work.\nUnfortunately\, one in five Aussies experience mental ill-health every year (National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing\, 2022) costing Australian workplaces a staggering $10.9 billion in absenteeism and presenteeism (PwC and Beyond Blue\, 2014). \nAlarmingly only 56% of Aussie workers felt comfortable talking about their mental health at work (Thriving Workplace Report\, 2023). The good news is when we invest in workplace mental health and wellbeing\, we can see returns of up to $4 for every $1 spent (Aust Productivity Commission\, 2021) \nWith these statistics in mind\, its essential organisations equip their leaders with the tools to create open and safe places for people to work at their best. It’s also essential that leaders destigmatise mental ill-health and have wellbeing-related conversations with their teams. \nIn this highly interactive session\, your team will leave with an understanding of:\n\nWhat mental health is\, the prevalence of mental ill-health in Australia\nThe signs to look out for how to have a positive wellbeing conversation\nActionable strategies to build and sustain mentally healthy and well teams\n\nBrought to you by Sector Support Central Coast and Hunter \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Advance care planning for LGBTQIA+ people (webinar)
