International SOS Foundation Launches New Mental Health & The Remote Rotational Workers Symposium
Additional dates also announced for Duty of Care and Sustainability Training
The International SOS Foundation has launched a new symposium for those with a Duty of Care for their remote rotational workforce. Focusing on the latest ground-breaking insights into the mental health of this unique workforce, the symposium is designed to help organisations make evidence-based adjustments and recommendations to protect and promote mental health in this type of working arrangement.
Following the high demand for its Duty of Care and Sustainability training, the International SOS Foundation has also announced additional dates for its certified virtual training courses in these areas. The sessions are created for managers tasked with protecting the health, wellbeing and safety of their employees to achieve their Duty of Care responsibilities and Sustainability goals.
Each course is held in small groups with international participants to maximise the learning and potential networking opportunities.
Mental Health & the Remote Rotational Worker Symposium

Symposium sessions are currently available on 4 March, 5 March and 11 March.
