Workplace injury stigma - with Dr Tristan Casey

In this episode, we chat with Dr Tristan Casey to understand the concept of workplace injury and illness stigma. Tristan takes us through the findings of a research project exploring the causes and impact of injury and illness stigma in the workplace. We discuss the drivers behind stigma and the consequences of stigma for the injured or ill worker. Tristan shares examples of protective workplace factors that can destigmatise occupational injury and illness, and offers some advice about the first steps organisations can take in addressing injury and illness stigma. https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-10/Research%20on%20the%20causes%20and%20impact%20of%20stigma%20in%20workplaces_0.pdf https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/58661569-the-shadow-glass
