2 OVERVIEW OUTCOMES The increasing prevalence of mental health issues throughout Australia s adult population has heightened the need for Australian organisations to refocus on their duty of care to all employees. The Workplace Mental Health Program offers human resources practitioners and professionals the opportunity to benchmark their organisation's current approach to employee support around workplace wellbeing. Moreover, attendees will simultaneously develop their knowledge and skills in implementing a wellbeing framework that delivers significant improvements in organisational culture. The day will be uniquely tailored for each participant based on how their organisation is tracking with regard to mental health policies and practice. Through a series of collaborative peer-led conversations, attendees will quickly build a tailored wellbeing action-plan specifically customised for their organisation. The day is split into three workshops that focus on Risk, Strategy and Implementation. Participants will: Learn about well-being risk and what to do to minimise the risk of psychological injury across the organisation Work through evidence-based approaches to identifying your mental health risks Adopt a strategic approach to tackling organisational wellbeing and find out why it is superior to many of the current approaches organisations take Discover how to successfully implement your strategy to make substantial positive gains in individual and organisational mental health Understand what resources are available to you To ensure that participants get as much as possible out of the program, pre-reading packs will be sent prior to the event and will be discussed throughout the day.
