Mental health and reasonable adjustments: a masterclass



Many employers are aware of mental health and the impact it can have for organisations. But they may not know about proactive approaches they can take to support workers.  

Organisations are more likely to thrive and attract and retain staff if workers: 

  • can talk openly about their mental health 
  • feel supported and encouraged to develop coping strategies 

Join us at this event to: 

  • explore mental health, stress, and burnout 
  • understand employer responsibilities and duty of care 
  • discuss practical steps to help create a healthy and productive workforce
