Evalex to participate and exhibit at the 2024 SIOPSA conference
Evalex will attend and present at the highly prestigious 26th Annual SIOPSA conference between 17 and 19 July 2024. The overall conference theme is “Mindful Organisations, Productive People: Cultivating a Culture of Mental Health and Wellness”.
The world of work is changing rapidly due to factors such as artificial intelligence, hybrid work arrangements, and global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes can impact mental health, especially in South Africa where workplace stress is widespread. Industrial and Organisational Psychologists (IOPs) are essential in designing interventions prioritising well-being and productivity.
The SIOPSA 2024 Annual Conference aims to bring together experts to devise effective strategies to ensure psychological well-being and productivity in the workplace.
