Join us online for a focused exploration of wellbeing issues affecting employees in remote locations, with insights into the unique pressures and support needs experienced by those working across dispersed island communities.

You’ll learn:

  • how isolation and dispersed teams affect wellbeing
  • the impact of long or irregular hours on anxiety, low mood and sleep
  • how limited local services increase reliance on digital mental‑health support
  • insights into presenteeism in small island communities.

This session is ideal for anyone responsible for health, safety or wellbeing, as well as managers and workers wanting a clearer understanding of mental health risks in remote workplaces.

This free event is open to IOSH members and non-members.
