Heath Williams is an osteopath who frequently lectures on topics such as exercise rehabilitation, ergonomics and clinical education. He’s also the director of Corporate Work Health Australia, a provider of corporate health, safety and wellness advice. In this episode, Heath and Yianni focus on what workplace health means and what the responsibilities of an employer are in a changing workplace landscape. Heath also shares his vision of an ideal workplace.

Key takeaways:

1. Workplace injuries are a massive nationwide problem for Australia, costing more than $61 billion annually.
2. Given workplace injuries are a problem for Australia, it's just a matter of time before most employers transcend regulatory compliance and start to proactively support employee health and wellness.
3. Given that the definition of a ‘workplace’ is rapidly expanding and now covers diverse and remote working environments, it can be challenging to know where employers responsibilities for their workers’ safety begins and ends.
