Event Details
HR professionals play a critical role in supporting organisational performance, culture and employee wellbeing. However, the demands of the role can often come at a personal cost.
This session will present the headline findings from the latest HR Mental Wellbeing Survey, offering insight into the pressures facing HR teams today and what these findings mean for organisations.
With a focus on practical application, we will explore how businesses can better support their people professionals, strengthen internal support structures, and reduce the risk of burnout, attrition and disengagement within HR teams.
The session will include:
- Key insights from the HR Mental Wellbeing Survey
- The impact of workload, expectations and organisational pressure on HR professionals
- Practical approaches to strengthening support for HR teams
- How organisations can take a more proactive approach to wellbeing within HR functions
You can expect a focused, practical session designed to help organisations better understand and support the people who support everyone else.
