Psychological Safety in the Workplace - an exclusive seminar and Q&A

With new codes of practice for psychosocial risk management, ISOs, and critical workplace events in the media, there has never been so much focus on identifying and managing the risk of psychological harm to employees. The focus on preventative action is well overdue, and we have seen the proliferation of psychosocial risk assessment tools and surveys making it easier than ever to identify potential risk and measure the maturity of workplace mental health infrastructure.  

This is all great news for workplaces in meeting their WHS compliance obligations and protecting the wellbeing of their people, but what’s next? While activities like job designand risk assessment are critical, what can organisations do to create workplace culture and capabilities that enable people to flourish and thrive? How can organisations equip and empower people to speak up, show vulnerability and seek support when they need it, but proactively raise issues around workplace factors that may be influencing their mental health and experience of work? How do we go from a focus on WHS risk and compliance, to maximising people’s experience of work, enabling innovation, and having our people co-create a positive experience of work?

Why not join workplace psychologist, Dave Burroughs, and social psychologist, author, and researcher Professor Brock Bastian as they discuss the critical intra- and inter-personal capabilities required to develop Psychological Safety in the modern workplace. Dave and Brock will discuss some of the pitfalls in many contemporary approaches to bullying and harassment, above and below the line approaches, and over reliance on things like hotlines and ‘speak up’ campaigns that in some situations may do more harm than good.
