Webinar Q&A | Managing the Psychology of Sustained Disruption

Dr Sarah Cotton from Transitioning Well has provided a copy of the slides for the Participants who attended the Q&A webinar on Managing Psychology of Sustained Disruption.

As firms consider how they set up a successful transition back to the office, it is important that they not only protect the physical safety of their people but also consider what is required to feel psychologically safe. With a sharp increase in mental health assistance requests (AFR advising it is up 40%) and suicide on the rise, it is imperative that workplaces put in place proactive mental health and wellbeing initiatives. There wasn’t much time to prepare people as they transitioned into COVID-19, but there is an amazing opportunity now for workplaces to support their people through the ongoing transitions of what has been aptly termed ‘sustained disruption’.
