TOPIC: Beyond Fruit Bowls and Yoga - Let's get serious about staff wellbeing

SPEAKER: Mike Thomason, Education Services, Toowoomba Catholic Schools Office 

Wellbeing has been at the heart of Mike’s work across school sectors for over 25 years. Currently, he leads School Counselling, Career Development and Staff Wellbeing Champion programs and initiatives across 31 schools. Mike delivers an ambitious Mental Health First Aid training and school support agenda that has seen the Toowoomba Diocese recognised as a Gold Standard workplace.  With an ever expanding wellbeing industry peddling the latest app, 10 week programs and other snake oil solutions, Mike’s messaging is simple: we need to focus on improving the experience of work for all and directly address the organisational factors that can enhance people’s engagement, productivity and the many benefits of Good Work.  Mike’s professional interests lie around work design and job crafting interventions that collectively develop agency and job resources.
