The Mental Health Roundtable note burnout and capacity challenges continue to be reported by staff and are prioritising the development of a business guide on navigating this topic. Additionally, they are investigating a business guide on measuring the effectiveness of mental health strategies.
PEOPLE AND HR ROUNDTABLE
The People and HR Roundtable had a workshop on ‘how do we work in the new paradigm shift’ to take a deep dive into building a sense of belonging for staff, particularly in remote/ hybrid working environments.
DEFENCE ROUNDTABLE
The Defence Roundtable continues its positive engagement with the Defence-Industry Co-Lab with open sharing of the key challenges impacting both industry and Defence.
Mental health was raised as a key area we could work together. Unsurprisingly all sectors, be it consultant or construction businesses or Defence are feeling the skills shortage.
LIABILITY AND CONTRACTS ROUNDTABLE
The Liability and Contracts Roundtable continues to raise engagement opportunities and support Consult Australia’s advocacy against problematic contract clauses. They continue to supply de-identified case studies to flesh out the impacts which have real cut through with government clients.
