4 JUL. 2020 · This time round Jason is joined by Father & Son duo, Eddie and Chris Woods from Karrdale Ltd, the team behind such initiatives as Inspiring Safe Communities - A Guide to Safety, Wellbeing and Communities, and Mind Yourself - An easy to follow guide to help with the understanding and self management of stress and anxiety.
The workplace is currently experiencing a jam when it comes to safety & wellbeing, leaving many scratching their heads for an engaging way forward. The motivation to create positive environments of care is strong, but the lack of new ideas is forcing companies into regurgitating the same models, ones that reached the pinnacle of success a long time ago and the risk of these important topics becoming boring and less meaningful for the worker is drawing closer.
