Mental health and employee wellbeing continues to be an area of focus for many employers.

The Geelong HR Roundtables of 2019 on the topic “Mental Health and Mental Injury in the Workplace” and “Cultivating Resilience” were both well oversubscribed. To accommodate the region’s, continuing need in the area of mental health and wellbeing,  we have added additional programs and added to our facilitation team to provide employers with the tools and resources to best manage their employees’ mental, health and wellbeing.

Harvest Talent Recruitment & People solutions is committed to supporting the physical and mental wellbeing of all employees by providing an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which offers employees access to professional and confidential counselling.

The 'Workforce Management in Crisis'…

The ‘Workforce Management in Crisis’ webinar series was an added bonus to access. In a time of rapid change due to COVID-19 and information coming in thick and fast from multiple areas, it was valuable to have these sessions available. Thank you Harvest HR for this series and the great work you have done in establishing a comprehensive Professional Development program for HR professionals in the Geelong region!
