Managing Mental Health Issues in the Workplace with ITIM
Download
Mental health issues affect one in five Australians. It is essential that managers understand how to mitigate risk to the people in their organisations when they are managing or working alongside a person with a mental health issue..
ITIM's research shows that managers are aware of the risk that human behaviour poses to their organisations. A high percentage of management time is spent on:
- Long term team and individual conflict
- Constant under-performance
- Conflicting personalities
- Managing difficult people
Our presentation "Managing Mental Health Issues in the Workplace" will enable you to identify, understand and manage known risk factors in mental health issues. For further information please call us on 1800 337 068.
