What if work wasn’t the problem but the solution to wellbeing? That is the premise of the fascinating book 'Good Work – Transform Your Work from the Inside Out', released earlier this year by organisational psychologist and leadership partner Dr Kat Page.
Central Safety Group offers you the opportunity to hear from Kat at our monthly event on Tuesday 10 November, where she will challenge the idea that work is inherently harmful.
Drawing on science, stories, and practical tools, Kat's book shows how leaders and teams can design work that’s both human and high-performing. This is based on a new framework for change: Me, We, Us.
Me – How do I redesign my own relationship with work so it fuels rather than depletes me?
We – How do we create teams that energise and protect each other?
Us – How do we build organisations and societies where good work is the norm, not the exception?
Good Work is both a guide and a call to collective action...read more

Kevin’s view is that there are two versions of leadership. One is a position or title that invokes leadership and is bestowed on people, but who then often need to learn how to be a leader

For years, the key to positive change in OHS seems to have relied on leadership. However, the notion of leadership is something that people might recognise, but can’t describe. Kevin Jones, editor of the SafetyAtWorkBlog, will be zooming in at Central Safety Group’s lunchtime event on Tuesday 12th May to discuss this dilemma.
