Designing a Toolbox Talk Program That Actually Lands: Mental Health Edition
This workshop is for the HR, safety, and operations folks who support field crews
Description
Field workers are not in the office, do not have time for formal training, and are not going to log into an LMS. So how do you actually get mental health information and skills to the people who need it most?
This workshop is for the HR, safety, and operations folks who support field crews. We will design construction-specific mental health toolbox talks together: what topics work, how long they should be, who should deliver them, how to write them so they do not sound preachy, and how to track whether they are actually being used.
Participants will leave with templates and a starter library of talks they can take back to their site supervisors.
What participants walk away with
• A template for writing mental health toolbox talks that do not sound preachy or HR-canned.
• A starter set of three to five ready-to-use talks on common construction-relevant topics.
• A simple plan for getting site supervisors to actually deliver them, and a way to know if it is working.
Who it is for
HR, People and Culture, safety coordinators, OHS leads, and operations folks responsible for site-level training rollouts.
Delivery Methods: Virtual with Zoom Meetings (*In-Person/Classroom delivery available upon request)
Course Fee Includes: Access to the course, course materials, and a digital certificate upon completion.
