With the new WHS regulations focusing on the management and mitigation of psychosocial hazards, it is imperative that organisations understand how to fulfil their positive duty in response to these regulations. This requires that all leaders across the organisation – from the executive through to local area managers – have a mature understanding of workplace factors leading to psychosocial risk.
The objective of our program is to help organisations meet their regulatory and compliance obligations, but also to go beyond this to create a genuine and quantifiable impact on peoples experience of work.
Developing psychosocial leadership capabilities across the organisation presents an important control strategy for organisations, to ensure leaders understand their positive duty to consult their teams around their experience of work, understand the nature of psychosocial hazards and how these can combine to create psychosocial risks, and strategies and pathways for taking an early intervention and prevention approach to risk management.
Our approach also involves working with teams across an organisation to understand the critical importance of psychological health and safety, how to respond to psychosocial hazards and provide support to others who may be impacted, and in this way developing effective local area resolution capabilities for teams to build a psychosocially safe workplace environment.
Our programme aims to provide the how when it comes to managing psychosocial risks in the workplace.
