ASGA webinar - managing bullying and psychological injuries in the workplace

ASGA’s Legal & Business Advisor, Warwick Ryan of Hicksons Lawyers, will outline how psychological injuries now comprise about a quarter of all worker’s compensation claims and that the lost days for psychological claims are generally three times that of an average physical injury. The risks businesses face due to these claims will be presented and also strategies to help a business minimise the risk of such claims.

Vernon Kingman of Kingman Strategies will moderate the webinar.

“Managing employees is becoming increasingly complex, with safe work policies constantly changing and more demands being placed on management to ensure both the physical and mental wellbeing of its staff are considered. Any business owner that has had to navigate claims of bullying and stress leave would appreciate the value of guidance in this area,” says Mick Harrold, President of ASGA.

“The ASGA is fortunate to have Warwick Ryan provide specific advice on this issue as it relates to the sign industry. Access to this advice is of enormous value and would otherwise cost hundreds of dollars if one was to obtain this advice from a legal or HR consultant. ASGA members can get this advice for free by registering for this webinar. Non-members are also welcome to register for a small fee,” concluded Harrold.

Australian Sign & Graphics Association (ASGA) will stream the webinar on November 29 at 2.00 pm AEDT.
