COVID-19 WEBINAR SERIES

The world as we know it is changing.  With the current COVID-19 pandemic impacting the world and now the Australian way of life, this threat has placed every employer and household into a confronting and uncertain situation.

From an employer’s perspective the main question is, will your current business model be sustainable and how do you prepare and implement actions imposed by the Australian Government whilst still achieving company performance goals and supporting staff in an empathetic and appropriate manner?

As your company commences transition from an office based model to working remotely, you will need to design and implement a strategy that will adequately support employees, diminish public panic, foster a proactive working environment and encourage a positive mental health and wellbeing outlook.

Whilst other platforms are streaming basic assistance on how to work from home and deal with “cabin” fever, NESA and our Industry Partner (Indigenous Consulting Group) has designed a new COVID-19 Webinar Series to assist employers and employees that guides you through a comprehensive series of questions and responses.  

The 4 Webinar topics are:

Managers

  • Session 1: Understanding your requirements as a leader to address COVID-19 within your organisation
  • Session 2: Managing a team remotely in response to COVID-19

All Staff

  • Session 3: How to manage my role working from home
  • Session 4: How to manage my own mental health & well being

This Webinar series will assist in managing fears within your team, along with a thorough information pack including a Working From Home (WFH) checklist and sample COVID-19 Organisational Policies.

It is our hope to support your company objectives and staff well-being during this time and minimise the risk whilst maintaining a positive and proactive workforce.
