Webinar

Recognising and transforming culture in the construction industry has become essential to fostering a positive, inclusive, safe and innovative work environment.

The culture in the construction industry is diverse, with people coming from all walks of life to work together. We each bring a wide range of values, beliefs, and practices - and establishing a cohesive workplace requires a multi-faceted approach for better mental health outcomes and improved productivity.

The purpose of this webinar is to explore workplace psychosocial hazards and to equip you with insights that can be applied in your own workplace.
