Get the inside scoop on the Association of Experiential Education Asia-Pacific Conference, dive into career-shaping events, and discover how your input can drive transformative changes in the SIS package review.

This episode takes an earnest turn when Noelleen Musson from SafeWork NSW steps in, wielding her 30 years of expertise to dissect the pervasive issue of psychosocial hazards in the workplace. We confront the realities of workplace bullying and sexual harassment, illuminating the profound effects on mental health and the essential frameworks that safeguard our well-being. With Noellene's wisdom, we unravel the layers of legislative protection, codes of practice, and the vital resources available for those in need, crafting an episode that's crucial for fostering a culture of safety and respect.

In our closing chapter, we lay out the blueprint for creating a psychologically healthy workplace, infusing your business practice with strategies to mitigate risks and adhere to legislative obligations. I share how tools like the Speak Up app and initiatives from the Respect at Work task force can bolster your efforts in shaping a nurturing professional environment.
