We’ve all seen injury management errors in the past.
“What can can we do when it starts to slip away?”
“How do we ensure we get our employee the right treatment at the right time?”
“What are the signs things are going off track?”
So what can we do? Hear about the practical, evidence based approaches, used in Australian workplaces.
Start the day with a bang – with the main course served up by the WhyWork® Podcast team.
Get ready for Early Intervention Done Right – “WhyWork®” Style.
We are thrilled to share the news that the team from the WhyWork® podcast will be opening the symposium in their dynamic, thought-provoking and amusing style with a special Early Intervention themed podcast recorded on-site at the Calile Hotel.
While you enjoy breakfast Calile-style, turn your ears to the intersection of case law and human factors as the WhyWork® Team examine the ‘what’, ‘why’ and ‘what-if’s’ behind the stories of real people at work.
We’re long-time fans of the podcast hosted by Alan Girle, Sara Pazell and Trajce Cvetkovski, which is now in its eighth season. Rated in the top 10 management and top 40 business Apple podcasts in Australia, the WhyWork® podcast will examine the uncomfortable realities and cautionary tales of work. Additionally, they’ll reconstruct a better way for contemporary workplaces to get early intervention done – right.
