Bring Shattered to Your Workplace
Bring This Conversation Into Your Workplace
One workplace injury.
​
One family changed.
​
One system few people understand — until they are inside it.
​
Shattered is filmed across Australia.
​
It asks a simple question:
​
What happens when life changes in an instant?
And what role do we all play in creating workplaces and communities where people feel supported, connected and cared for when they need it most?
​
Where "get well soon" becomes the norm rather than the exception.
​
Synopsis
Shattered is a four-part documentary series exploring life after workplace injury.
​
Injured people’s experiences are at the heart of Shattered. Their stories reveal how deeply recovery is connected to families, employers and colleagues—and how processes intended to provide support can cause distress and pull people apart.
​
Helping an injured employee recover and return to safe, meaningful work is a goal workplaces can actively support. Others may manage the processes, but your care and connection matter more than ever. Staying involved, listening to your employee and respecting their needs helps sustain their connection with colleagues and recognises what their family is carrying too.
Watching Shattered together opens a conversation about living your company values after injury—and helping someone feel supported, valued and that they still belong.
