During the session, Palelei shared his personal experiences and highlighted why open conversations, early support and reduced stigma are essential in creating healthier and safer workplaces. His message reinforced the need for organisations to recognise the mental health challenges faced by workers and to provide practical tools and support to help them cope both on and off the job.
The presentation formed part of Macmahon’s ongoing commitment to improving wellbeing across the industry and encouraging a culture where people feel comfortable seeking help when they need it.
