PacPrint25 has announced Steven Gamble, founder of Anchor Health, as one of the first confirmed speakers for the Industry Forum Series running through the PacPrint25 week.
Taking the stage on Wednesday May 21, Steven Gamble will lead an exploration of the role of employers across mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. He will provide an overview of Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) and Mental Health First Aid planning, sharing actionable strategies to support employee wellbeing and compliance with increasing legislative requirements.
With workplace mental health becoming an increasing priority across the print, signage, and graphic communications industries, his experience and knowledge of the industry will deliver a relevant and essential discussion on fostering resilience, productivity, and a supportive work culture.
As the founder of Anchor Health, a leading mental health and wellbeing organisation, he has spent years educating workplaces, communities and our industry on the importance of early intervention and structured mental health support. Anchor Health’s Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offers confidential counselling, mental health education, and tailored support programmes designed to improve overall workplace wellbeing.
He says, “We know that a healthy workforce leads to a healthier business. By integrating mental health support into workplace culture, companies can create a thriving, resilient team while positively impacting their bottom line.”
In his PacPrint25 session, Steven will outline:
- How businesses can implement an effective EAP to support employees through stress, anxiety, and personal challenges.
- The cost benefits of mental health initiatives, including reduced absenteeism, lower staff turnover, and improved productivity.
- Mental Health First Aid strategies that help managers and teams identify, support, and respond to employees in crisis.
- Real-world case studies showcasing how businesses that prioritise mental health see stronger employee engagement and business performance.
