Findings from a recent study suggest that there is upward potential to optimise work experiences across the AOD sector and thus opportunity to realise more positive impact. This webinar will provide an overview of the first of two related reports commisioned by NADA and VAADA: “The AOD Sector Workforce: on Engagement, Learning and Wellbeing.” Dr Ramon Wenzel, Curtin University, will highlight findings and discuss implications as they relate to leaders, workers, and organisations across the AOD sector.

In this webinar, you will explore:
• how to understand work performance and impact as a function of the total work experience
• what drives AOD workers’ retention, commitment and engagement
• that designing great jobs is not merely about compliance or risk but the provision of agency, mastery and relational experiences
• why empowering workers means to increase role clarity, responsibilities and genuine support
• how psychological safety drives wellbeing and professional growth
