Our Work Well Conference returned in 2023.
Over 650 delegates joined us for a jam-packed program full of ground-breaking research and trends in work health and safety and return to work, including:
- AI and safety in the workplace
- Preventing musculoskeletal disorders
- Good work design
- Systems thinking
- Safety capability
- Critical conversations
- Psychosocial risk management
With high profile keynote presenters, the conference provided delegates with new ideas and practical strategies to take back and implement in their workplace. With a full day program, delegates took the learning beyond the podium into the breaks and networking areas where they were able to connect, collaborate and share ideas with other industry professionals.
