Hi everyone, Charles here from ‘The GHFC’, with Podcast #18 (January 2022)

Today I will be sharing with you recent revelations as to how Corporate Culture in 2022 has a lot to answer for in relation to anti-social workplace issues such as Inequality, Discrimination, Bullying, Intimidation and Harassment being endemic in the workplace, resulting in an environment that is conducive to reduced mental health well-being.

In Podcast #17 you will hear the presentation I had the privilege to present to over 100 final year undergraduate construction engineering students at UTS (University Technology Sydney), on the topic of ‘Workplace Mental Health Well Being’ and ‘Toxicity in the Workplace’,  facilitated by Professor Martin Loosemore.

Martin is Professor of Construction Management at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia, being a Visiting Professor at The University of Loughborough, UK and University of Hawaii, USA, a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building. Martin has published 14 books and over 250 internationally refereed articles, with his work in academia and in industry receiving numerous international awards.

In Podcast #16 we hear how a sequence of events over the last two years resulted in a veritable WIN-WIN situation in the progress of global workplace mental health well being...

In this podcast I will be sharing with you a recent article by The GHFC as published on Sourceable.net, entitled: What is your ‘Individual Type’?

The article seeks to explain the intricate, yet insightful processes involved in 'Individual Type Profiling' in the workplace. This is by no means a negative article, in fact it is extremely positive and optimistic...please listen away...

In this GHFC Blog, we visit the premise that ‘Mental health well-being is a legitimate reason to take a break - here’s how to make the most of one’, being based on an article in The Age by Nicola Heath, a freelance journalist specialising in business, the workplace and health.

In this podcast I would like to share with you developments in the call from ‘The GHFC’ to eradicate toxicity from the workplace, including the raising of the ‘NEWT’ (The 'Need to Eradicate Workplace Toxicity') petition.

'The media is overflowing with revelations of workplace toxicity, be it bullying, intimidation, harassment or discrimination, with stories from the executive level to white collar, blue collar even on the shop floor, across all sectors!'

'Workplace bullies are people who belittle, humiliate and threaten their colleagues and co‐workers'.

'Organisational cultures exacerbate the problem when leaders either do not understand workplace bullying or dismiss it as tough management.'
