The recent 'Collective Care' webinar facilitated by the brilliant Catherine Twiss and organised by our Professional Development Interest Group (chaired by Marion Slawson) was attended by over 90 participants. Thank you to those who attended. Catherine's insights and expertise added immense value to our understanding of the topic. When developing collective care programs in the workplace, it is essential to consider the benefits of sharing experiences, reducing feelings of isolation, and increasing resilience. However, over-relying on others could hinder personal growth. Therefore, it is essential to be alert and aware of the distribution of responsibilities. During the webinar, a thought-provoking question came up, 'How does our work affect us as human beings?'. The question (and the responses we received) shed light on the impact our professional lives have on our well-being. We would love to hear your thoughts and any key takeaways you had. Feel free to share in the comments! #professionaldevelopment #collectivecare

We are proud to be a Summit Supporter for Neon Shed's upcoming Psychosocial Safety Summit. We all know everyone deserves to feel safe and valued at work, yet mental health workers' compensation claims have seen a 36.9% increase since 2017-18, compared to an 18.3% increase for all serious claims over the same period (Safe Work Australia). The challenge is how we reduce this figure. The Psychosocial Safety Summit helps with the how by providing people leaders, executives, HR and WHS professionals with the latest research, strategies, practical tools and solutions to ensure everyone feels safe and valued at work. Organisations where people feel safe and valued at work see: ⏳ increased productivity; 🤒 reduced absenteeism; and 😊 improved employee morale. Will our Chief Vision Officer Jess Price see you there? #psychologicalsafety #psychosocialhazards #workbutdifferent
