Psychosocial Risk Workshop: Northland

** Ticket sales have now closed **

NZISM is delighted to be working with Umbrella to support members in an area coming into increasingly sharp focus - psychosocial risk in the workplace. We know what it is and understand why it's beneficial for both individuals and organisations to operate in a place that promotes Mentally Healthy Work.

But how do we assess where our organisation currently stands?

And what do we need to put in place to ensure our workplaces do more than pay lip service to Mentally Healthy Work?
