The hospitality industry has long been known for its fast-paced environment, demanding schedules, and high-pressure work conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbated these challenges, leaving hospitality workers facing increased uncertainty and stress.
Collaborative Endeavours: HMM x ECU Research Project
In response to the pressing need for research and support within this sector, Healthy Mind Menu charity announced its partnership with the Centre for Work + Wellbeing at Edith Cowan University (ECU).
Australia’s First Employer Toolkit for Promoting Mental Health & Wellbeing in Western Australia’s Hospitality Sector
The ultimate goal of this collaboration is to create a Employer Toolkit that will guide hospitality venues in prioritising the mental health and wellbeing of their staff. By understanding the unique needs and challenges faced by WA hospitality workers, the toolkit will provide practical strategies and resources to support their wellbeing.
