Psychological wellness impacting your organization's bottom line, one way or another. While traditional occupational health models focus on keeping employees physically safe on the job, Psychological Health & Safety Consultant Elizabeth Eldridge will show you how neglecting mental wellness at work means your organization is functioning below capacity. Learn why mental health must be acknowledged as a vital component of occupational health, and how making it a priority and implementing practical strategies will help your organization reach its full potential. 

Supervisors play a vital role in every organization. They’re often promoted because they excel in technical skills, know the job inside out, and can keep operations moving smoothly. But supervising people is about far more than managing tasks. Outstanding supervisors understand that their role goes beyond what’s written in their job description: they inspire, motivate, and help shape the culture of their teams.

This session is designed to fill a critical gap in supervisor training, especially for those new to leadership. While senior leaders and HR often receive structured training, supervisors are left to figure things out on their own — despite being the ones closest to employees day-to-day. From influencing recruitment and retention to shaping team morale, setting safety expectations, and supporting mental well-being, supervisors have enormous influence on workplace culture.

​

Participants will gain practical tools to navigate the “people side” of supervision, including how to have tough but necessary conversations, support employees experiencing challenges, and create an environment where psychological health and safety are valued. Through real-world examples and interactive discussion, supervisors will leave with confidence, clarity, and a toolkit for leading teams in a way that supports both people and performance.
