October is National Safe Work Month.

While health and safety should be acknowledged every day of the year, this month gives employers an opportunity to commit to building better workplaces for their employees.

Individuals, their families and communities are all impacted by work-related injuries or illness.

Safe Work Australia data shows that around 169 people died while doing their job in 2021 and there were around 130,195 serious workers compensation claims made in 2020-2021.

This year’s National Safe Work Month theme is FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY, WORK SAFELY.

Safe Work Australia has a range of information, resources and tools you can use to promote healthy and safe workplaces.

Worksafe Victoria will also be hosting a number of webinars and face to face workshops on various OH&S topics throughout October.

Business Writing for the Digital Era

Writing proper business-related documents in today’s workplace requires a solid understanding of the fundamentals behind how specific documents should be approached, designed and edited. Written communications in the workplace should be concise, yet thorough and well laid out.

Technology enabled communications (emails and texts) should also be well thought out and designed to get the correct message across, while avoiding any potential misinterpretation.

It can be tough dealing with the pace of change and the uncertainty that goes with it. However, it is important for leaders to learn how to embrace, navigate, and lead through change effectively. And the more change agile we are, the better prepared we are to respond when things move fast.

This session introduces you to the ADKAR change management model and explores different leadership techniques to lead yourself and your team through challenging times with purpose and poise.
