A conversation about improving workplace well-being with Ida-Jane Graham and Joanne Whittle
Monday, 30 December, 2024
In this episode, I sit down with Ida-Jane Graham, Clinical Director, and Joanne Whittle, Human Resource Manager, from the John Howard Society of Ottawa—a not-for-profit organization dedicated to delivering evidence-based, outcome-driven community services across the Ottawa area. Ida-Jane and Joanne share their inspiring journey of coordinating a collaborative project to address the psychological health and safety of their employees. Guided by The National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace ("The Standard"), they formed a group of dedicated staff to tackle the most challenging aspects of their work. Together, they reflect on the project, how they engaged their team of "Standard Bearers", and the actionable steps they took to uncover root causes and implement solutions for improving employee well-being. This conversation is filled with practical insights and inspiration for organizations looking to create healthier, more supportive workplaces. Tune in to learn how evidence-based strategies can drive meaningful change in the workplace!
