As a business owner, manager or team lead, the way you lead directly influences the health and performance of your team. In today’s workplace, supporting mental wellbeing isn’t just best practice, it’s a legal and ethical obligation. Employers have a duty of care under workplace health and safety laws to provide a safe environment that protects both the physical and psychological well-being of their teams.
Join our Principal HR Advisor and MHFA trainer, Frances Orr, as she clarifies your obligations as an employer and practical strategies as a leader to create a supportive environment that reduces risk, enhances engagement, and improves overall business performance.
