Rising rates of depression, anxiety disorders, and alcohol dependency have prompted the Arbeiterkammer Oberösterreich to schedule a specialized seminar at the AK-Bildungshaus Jägermayrhof in Linz on June 2 and June 3, 2027.
Workplace mental health is increasingly drawing attention as late detection continues to impact individual well-being, team environments, and professional output. The upcoming training sessions aim to address these exact challenges by educating workplace representatives on early warning signs and proper intervention strategies.
- Basic knowledge regarding psychological burdens, underlying conditions, and recognizable behavioral signs in colleagues.
- Clear definitions of the responsibilities held by employee representatives within the workplace structure.
- Structured guidance on how to successfully reintegrate employees following extended sick leaves.
The program runs daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at Römerstraße 98 in Linz. According to Arbeiterkammer Oberösterreich, the schedule relies on a mix of expert lectures, practical exercises, guided discussions, and structured experience sharing.
Participation is open to works council members, personnel representatives, disability advocates, youth representatives, union officials, and employees affiliated with the AK, ÖGB, or broader trade unions who maintain a workplace in Upper Austria.
The instruction team features Dr. Markus Fischl, a specialist in psychiatry and occupational medicine at the Kepler-Uniklinikum, alongside Mag.a Mirna Specht-Prebanda from Arbeiterkammer Oberösterreich. Attendance requires an active trade union membership tied to a workplace located within Upper Austria.
