But while progress is being made and attitudes are shifting, the statistics remain sobering. Far more people tragically take their own lives than are lost in workplace accidents.In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Tim Marsh, a leading voice in safety culture and mental health, to explore how the best organisations are going beyond reactive measures and embedding proactive approaches to mental wellbeing.
