Compliance: Making it work for your organisation

Sharon leads PwC’s mental health business, supporting public policy reform in digital mental health, the workforce, and workplaces. Before this, she held roles at the Ministry of Health NZ, and George Institute for Global Health. With a PhD in public health, she is a published academic and continues to review NHMRC grants for public health & policy. Sharon’s career has been driven by a passion for reducing inequity, increasing sustainability and impacting social agendas.

Craig and Sharon sit down for an engaging discussion on the importance of staying ahead of public policy and compliance. When it comes to a government’s role in improving organisational wellbeing, no one is better placed to advise than Sharon. Sharon is a public health policy specialist and partner at PwC Australia, so she’s at the crossroads of private industry and government efforts to do the right thing – for employees, as well as organisations.

Wellbeing and safety: compliance-driven or culture-driven? Key matters discussed in the episode include:

– Keeping up with compliance and standards – with a focus on legislation and policies;

– Building initiatives into company culture – versus box-ticking and audits; and

– The government’s future role in influencing psychological safety in the workplace.
