🛡️ What Support Do You Need from Government Agencies? 🛡️ During the New Horizons in Safety event, we conducted a detailed OHS survey with over 200 participants. The survey revealed that 57% of attendees need support with training and upskilling staff. Other needs include compliance assistance, finding suitable employees, and addressing mental health in the workplace. Discover more about these needs: https://zurl.co/gGqm #OccupationalSafety #GovernmentSupport #WorkplaceTraining #SafetyFirst

Workers' mental health and wellbeing is as important as their physical health. Our recent member survey results highlight this recognition from OSH professionals themselves. IOSH President, Stuart Hughes notes: “OSH is about far more than just physical safety risks; it’s about managing risks to health.” Not only is this good for the workers, but it can be beneficial to businesses too.

So, you’ve decided to utilise MHFAiders as part of your wellbeing strategy in your organisation. You’ve invested money in upskilling staff, put in the initial foundations for an important and much needed peer support network but you’ve not invested money or time in it since. Why? Because by having MHFAiders you think that’s enough. Your organisation has them and employees will automatically use them. MHFAiders are the knowledge holders, they’ve received the training so should be able to develop their role using their own initiative and without any guidance and support. After all, they’ve attended the training, what else do they need, right? Wrong! Your MHFAiders are stuggling to make a tangible difference without the necessary and much needed support. They’re trying to overcome the stigma and misunderstanding around mental health, encountering resistance when initiating conversations or advocating for change. They’re battling with setting boundaries, blurring the lines as to where their responsibilities start and end - necessary boundaries that safeguard you from burnout and boundaries that alleviate some of the emotional strain. They’re listening to and supporting others, but not receiving that same support themselves. If you think this sounds like your organisation send me a DM today and let’s have a conversation! I may have something for you that will help you utilise your MHFAiders to their full potential, having the maximum impact in your workplace. #mhfa #mhfaider #workplacewellbeing #support #workplaceculture

A big thank you to Jim Kelly, Safe Work NSW, for delivering our NPSN webinar -Psychosocial Safety Essentials and thank you to NPSN EAG Chair Martyn Campbell for moderating. The session was full of takeouts and action points.  Key for us was the critical importance of psychosocial safety in the workplace. Jim highlighted that mental health concerns are a significant issue, affecting one in two of us at some point in our lives. Key takeaways: Moral obligation: Employers have a duty to create a safe and supportive environment for their employees' mental health. Commercial benefits: Investing in psychosocial safety can lead to improved productivity, reduced absenteeism, and a better reputation. Legal obligations: Failure to address psychosocial hazards can result in legal consequences. Action point: Conduct a thorough assessment of your workplace to identify potential psychosocial risks and implement strategies to mitigate them. #psychosocialsafety #mentalhealth #workplacewellbeing

Workplaces should prioritize the health and safety of all employees. Identifying and addressing stress-inducing factors is essential to safeguard mental well-being. #WorkplaceWellness #MentalHealthAwareness #WorldMentalHealthDay
