In partnership with Management Governance Australia and Barwon Adolescent Taskforce, the project collaborated with 20 small and medium businesses from across the G21 Region, as well as young workers, to co-design real solutions.
In 2019, the project began by talking to employers and young workers from the construction, transport, manufacturing and health sectors, to understand their experiences of workplace mental health.
The WorkCareFactor digital resource is an outcome of this co-design process. It aims to be a tool to help identify workplace problems, start conversations about the emotional health and wellbeing of young people in the workplace, and find practical resources to implement change.
