About the Webinar

Providing a safe workplace includes safety to mental as well as physical health. Recent events have left employees facing uncertainty and experiencing stress as they come to grips with unprecedented impacts to their personal and professional lives. This session provides a guide to employers on managing mental health in the workplace, including:
  • The statutory and common law duties of employers
  • How covid and its consequences have impacted mental health
  • Distinguishing between pre-existing mental illness and onset or exacerbation – are the employer’s obligation the same?
  • Recognising the needs of staff and balancing them with the needs of the employer
  • Accommodating mental health issues – what are reasonable adjustments and how far is the employer required to provide them?
  • Pro-active strategies for minimising stress and promoting mental health in the workplace
  • Resources and support, including employee assistance programs
