When and Where: Friday, June 21st<\/sup>, The Merchant Taylors Hall, Aldwark, York YO1 7BX<\/a><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s FAME Forum takes as its theme \u2018Building a Healthier Workplace\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our focus is firstly on well-being, and particularly on mental health. HSE statistics show that 15.4 million working days are lost a year due to stress, depression or anxiety and it\u2019s estimated this costs the UK economy over \u00a370 billion per annum.<\/p>\n

This is a challenge for organisations in all sectors and archaeology is no different. If this is an issue that directly affects the bottom line, it also has deeply personal impacts for our ourselves, our colleagues and our employees. Employers have legal responsibilities and a duty of care, but how far does this extend and what\u2019s the nature of an organisations responsibility under any wider and unwritten social contract? Speakers will look at how mental health issues play out at both the macro and micro level, with presentations from those involved with shaping cross sectoral policy and those implementing solutions on the ground in construction and archaeology.<\/p>\n

The Forum spreads its interest wider than just mental health and speakers will address the impact that issues such as good practice around equality and diversity can have on general well-being and business performance. The archaeology sector is working hard to open up opportunities to all, but more can be done and this is an opportunity to discover how.<\/p>\n

Although the focus of the day is on health, safety and well-being, there is also time for speakers to take the temperature of the sector more generally and consider what we know about commercial performance and employment, and what some of the big issues are going forwards for commercial archaeologists. As was asked last year, have we reached peak archaeology \u2013is this, perhaps, as good as it gets?<\/p>\n

The Forum always offers a stimulating mix of speakers from within and outside our sector, but it also to provides a space for senior managers, those managing projects, functions and the organisation overall, a space to meet, network, catch up and enjoy talking shop. It\u2019s more intimate and more focused than other events and we try to ensure it\u2019s all relevant to the hugely challenging job of delivering great archaeology, great jobs, and great businesses.<\/p>\n

Tea, coffee and a buffet lunch will be provided on the day and once again we are delighted to be based at the beautiful and historic Merchant Taylors Hall.<\/p>\n

All members and partners can claim up to two free tickets<\/strong>. All other tickets are \u00a385. Tickets are available on Eventbrite using this link:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/fame-forum-2019-building-a-safer-workplace-tickets-62580001469<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
