Heart at Work with Trina Sunday
Heart at Work with Trina Sunday is a podcast for HR leaders and change-makers who believe there is a braver way to lead work and feel energised to step into it.
Hosted by human-first leadership strategist and creator of the HEART Work™ model, Trina Sunday draws on more than 25 years of experience across Australia, Asia, and global leadership communities to explore what it truly takes to build workplaces where people and performance thrive side by side.
This is not about policy updates or buzzwords. It is about the conversations that matter: influence, culture under pressure, leadership courage, and the behaviours that shape how work actually feels.
At the heart of it all is one relentless question: What are the real conditions for people to experience happiness at work?
Through honest reflections and global perspectives, Trina helps HR move from compliance to courageous influence, because there is no profit without a pulse.
If you are ready to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion, you are in the right place. Because HR has a new future. And it leads with heart.

8. Navigating Mental Health in our Workplaces with Peta Slocombe
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever wondered who is truly responsible for mental health in your workplace?
I sit down with Peta Slocombe, a distinguished psychologist and the founder of Performance Story, to tackle this pressing question. We talk about the roles of HR and safety teams, uncovering the systemic issues that often lead to fragmented efforts in addressing mental health and wellbeing at work.
We discuss the disconnect between HR and safety teams, especially in high-risk industries like mining and construction. Peta shares invaluable insights from her extensive experience, highlighting the critical need for comprehensive and integrated mental health strategies. We'll also explore the recent legislative changes that are pushing organisations to take a more proactive approach in managing psychosocial hazards.
Whether you're an HR professional, a manager, or just someone passionate about mental health, this episode offers practical steps and fresh perspectives to help create healthier, happier workplaces.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Connect with me on LinkedIn and share your experiences or any questions you might have about improving mental health in your organisation. Together, we can foster better workplaces for everyone.
