Work 4 Health Forum - Working for a healthier tomorrow Tuesday 26 October 2010

Featuring Professor Dame Carol Black.

The forum bought together employers, trade unions, healthcare professionals and other partners to build on the growing evidence that work has a role in promoting health. 

Dame Carol Black shared her experience and insights in developing and implementing the Health, Work and Wellbeing strategy. She discussed that being employed in a fulfilling job can have psychological benefits, flowing on to physical benefits.

The day also gave delegates the opportunity to hear from organisations who are demonstrating the gold standards of leadership, culture, people and process to structure and measure wellness program success.

Health and Wellbeing Snapshot Sessions

Throughout October 2010 we were offering the first 30 organisations to register one FREE health and wellbeing snapshot session.

The sessions were offered by Comcare Learning and Development Solutions, each session was tailored to specific areas of injury prevention and management. Sessions ran between one to two hours and focus on particular aspects of a chosen subject. Delegates received practical tips and tasks which they can easily implement in the workplace.

Session snapshot topics included:

Session 1: Influencing safety culture through leadership

This snapshot helps senior leaders understand the relationship between workplace culture and injury prevention and management.

Session 2: Bullying and harassment

This snapshot provides practical steps to identify, prevent and manage bullying and harassment in the workplace. It looks at strategies to promote respect and diversity in the workplace.

Session 3: Early intervention strategies

This snapshot helps managers identify early warning signs, outline best courses of action and help case managers build the case for early intervention in their organisation.

Comcare Learning and Development Solutions offers snapshots on a range of training topics across injury prevention and injury management. To have our team run snapshot sessions in your workplace, please contact us via email learning.development@comcare.gov.au.
