Leading Through the Festive Season: Staff Wellbeing & Inclusive Events
Event description
The festive season can be one of the most rewarding and most challenging times of the year for workplaces. For many teams, it brings heavier workloads, heightened emotions, and pressure to participate in events that may not feel inclusive for everyone.
Join the Gold Coast Inclusion Network for our November session, co-facilitated by Therese Dogra (Inclusion Consultant) and an experienced Workplace Psychologist with over 20 years’ expertise in leadership and wellbeing.
Together, they’ll guide you through:
Understanding festive season pressures — workload spikes, financial strain, social expectations, and cultural sensitivities
Evidence-based strategies to reduce burnout and boost morale during busy end-of-year periods
Practical tools for accessible and inclusive events, including checklists for venues, menus, timing, and communication
An interactive activity: bring your upcoming workplace event plans and leave with an inclusion-focused refresh
