Leaders can’t give what they don’t have: Creating a “safe system of work” for leaders presented by Kate Connors

With WHS regulators increasing their focus on psychosocial risk, it is important for firms to consider the “safe system of work” they have in place for their leaders, and the benefits this focus will have on culture and enterprise-wide leadership impact. Leader wellbeing and sustainability is a fundamental dependency in achieving organisational outcomes, yet the trends in leadership wellbeing are concerning. This session will challenge existing thinking and reinforce the need for investment not only in leader wellbeing, but in better understanding the leadership system drivers that contribute to leader wellbeing outcomes.

Kate is a masters qualified psychologist, executive coach, workplace mental health advisor and speaker who specialises in leadership well-being and workplace mental health. As the first person to serve in the role of Chief Mental Health Officer within an Australian professional services firm, she has extensive expertise in organisational well-being, workplace mental health and leadership sustainability & performance in partnership contexts.
