The 2024 Annual SIOPSA Conference recognises the critical issue of mental health. It aims to bring together psychologists, psychometrists, human resource practitioners, mental health advocacy organisations, and business leaders to collaboratively explore and devise effective strategies to ensure psychological well-being and productivity. The conference is about adopting mindfulness practices and prioritising employee well-being to increase productivity. It emphasises the importance of proactive strategies and support systems to address workplace mental health crises.

We’re excited to announce that a three-day conference will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa from Wednesday, 17 July to Friday 19 July 2024. To make the event inclusive and accessible to remote participants, we’ll also be running virtual sessions. On Tuesday, 16 July 2024, a workplace counselling pre-conference workshop will be held.
