Beneath The Surface

Did you know that 90% of the stress endured by FIFO workers is not caused by their job, but rather the interaction between their work and home lives?  Episode 23 of Beneath the Surface is an in-depth mental health journey through the FIFO industry with the amazing Sandra Lam. A registered psychologist, organisational development professional and founder of FIFO Focus, Sandra’s on a mission to create happier, healthier FIFO individuals, families and workplaces. In this episode, we focus primarily on the 6 major mental health issues that affect FIFO workers, and dive deep into what they are, how to spot them in ourselves and others, and how to deal with (or at least mitigate) the impact. On top of the ‘Big 6’, we also talk about the importance of constructive conflict in our personal relationships and what companies (and individuals) can focus on to nurture a healthy FIFO workplace. So much knowledge shared in this one, with plenty of tips and tricks to help us all through our mining journeys.  I hope you have
