Psychological Injury Management in the Workplace Congress

 

4th Psychological Injury Management in the Workplace Congress

Managing psychological injuries through a strong focus on the individual

23-24 May 2017, Rydges Sydney Central

As increasing numbers of costly psychological injuries are reported in the workplace, organisations are rethinking their Workplace Health and Safety and Injury Management programs to account for psychological injuries. With an emphasis on skilling up leaders, normalising mental health and the importance of collaborating with employees as they return to work, this conference will explore advanced practical strategies in response to the growing trend of workplace claims lodged for psychological injuries. 

In its fourth year, the Psychological Injury Management in the Workplace congress will continue to provide key workplace strategies that maintain psychological health at both individual and organisational levels. Delegates will hear from senior level experts from industries with a high rate of psychological injuries that will share their experiences and effective practices including:

  • Preparing your leaders with the tools to effectively manage psychological wellbeing
  • Normalising discussions on psychological health and asking the right questions
  • Working with the individual as a partner and not a subject in recovery
  • Setting the treatment modality of return to work
  • Preparing employees for change and leading them through times of organisational restructure
  • Building a respectful culture and eliminating bullying in the workplace
