Keynote Panel Discussion – Getting real with the regulators

David Burroughs, Chief Mental Health Officer, Westpac

A candid discussion on psychosocial safety and workplace sexual harassment

The current focus on psychosocial safety, from codes of practice, guidance materials and new regulations, has led to a flurry of activity, the emergence of dozens of new providers, the rise of overnight experts, and a frenetic scramble by organisations to meet their compliance obligations in the prevention of mental health harm.

  • Practically preventing Sexual Harassment from both a psychosocial risk and a positive duty obligations perspective

Dr Peter Simpson, Global Head Safety, Security & Sustainability, Standard Chartered

  • If / when external reasonable assurance is applied to EHS data via ESG reports
  • Understand how a risk management focus can support the increasing attention on human rights, equality and wellbeing (human capital)
