    EP08: Blooming minds, mental health & heartfelt leadership w/ Tasha Broomhall

    On this episode of Work Feels, we discuss the importance of mental health in the workplace. We highlight the common factors that contribute to burnout and the stigma around disclosing mental health issues at work. We also provide statistics on the global impact of mental health issues on productivity. The guest speaker, Tasha Broomhall, shares her experience working in a workplace mental health service and how it opened her eyes to the need for better support for those with mental health issues in the workplace.  Our interview focused on normalising mental health conversations in the workplace and creating a safe environment for employees to share their mental health issues. Tasha emphasised the need for skill development in leaders to respond to mental health issues in a respectful and non-intrusive manner. She also suggested incorporating mental health into safety moments and encouraging leaders to share their own experiences of learning about mental health. Tasha discussed the challenges of discussing mental health in the workplace and provided tips for employees and managers, emphasising the importance of creating a safe space for employees to discuss their mental health.  Tasha Broomhall discusses the four quadrants of mental health and the benefits of looking after mental health in the workplace. The new book, The Ecosystem of Work, is recommended for leaders to develop an ecosystem that manages psychological safety and helps people and organisations to flourish.

    EP04: Inflation 101, pay rise tips and spicy charts w/ Conrad Liveris

    We interviewed Conrad Liveris, an economist and workplace matters consultant, on the inner workings of inflation, why salary growth has stagnated and the glorification of executives … resulting in over 2500 billionaires in the world today.  Our fav takeaway: HR isn’t great at communicating that they may have plans for you - a promotion, a new role, developing your skills etc. Sometimes it’s worth asking HR straight up “where do you see me going within this company?” and exploring what your managers’ hopes are for your career.  Our listener story shares her experience when offered an automatic pay rise because her company did a gender pay gap assessment. She takes us through how her manager handled it and the emotions of learning she had been underpaid up until that point.  This episode will take you through how inflation works, the flow on effect it has on wages and how you can level up and stay ahead of inflation by negotiating your pay and work benefits. In this episode we mention: AFR: Top Earning CEOs Australia https://www.afr.com/work-and-careers/workplace/revealed-australia-s-50-highest-paid-ceos-in-2022-20221205-p5c3o6 White, male, named Andrew?  https://www.smh.com.au/business/workplace/white-male-named-andrew-you-ve-got-a-good-chance-to-become-a-ceo-20190509-p51lqj.html Conrad Liveris https://www.conradliveris.com/ Wage growth https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/nov/16/australia-wages-growing-less-than-half-inflation-pace-wage-price-index-wpi Workplace Gender Equality Agency https://www.wgea.gov.au/ Fair Work Act https://www.fairwork.gov.au/newsroom/news/secure-jobs-better-pay-changes-to-australian-workplace-laws _____ Special Guest: Conrad Liveris  Economist / Non-Profit Executive / Workplace Consultant  Conrad is an economist and consultant and has worked with small businesses through to global technology giants on issues including flexible working, restructuring, diversity and inclusion, remuneration and performance.  The ABC has called him “one of Australia’s leading employment and workplace experts” and his knowledge on labour market economics is sought by decision-makers, including government ministers and listed companies. Conrad’s research and analysis looks at the changing nature of employment, breaking it down by gender and age, to find the story of contemporary Australia.  Follow Conrad: https://www.conradliveris.com/ Hosted on Acast.
