Work-related suicide is a growing concern globally, particularly in high-risk industries where workers face immense pressures. This presentation explores the psychosocial risk factors contributing to work-related suicide, including leadership failures, unrealistic workloads, and a lack of mental health support. Drawing from recent cases and legislative changes, Jamie Mallinder will provide evidence-based strategies to help organizations create safer, more supportive environments. He will focus on leadership’s role in recognizing warning signs, fostering open mental health conversations, and implementing structural changes to mitigate risks.

Three Key Learnings:
1. Understand how work-related suicide is defined and recognize the key psychosocial risk factors that contribute to its occurrence in various industries.

2. Implement leadership-driven interventions to create psychologically safe work environments, in line with global legislative developments aimed at addressing psychosocial risks and mental health in the workplace.

3. Develop proactive mental health support systems that go beyond traditional EAP programs, incorporating ongoing mental health conversations and structural changes aligned with emerging global standards and legislative reforms.
