Mentally Healthy Workplaces
Practical sessions addressing psychosocial hazards and the obligations that now come with them.
Recent legislative change has made psychosocial risk a WHS duty rather than a wellbeing initiative. Employers are now expected to identify and control psychosocial hazards the same way they would a physical one. We have developed Toolbox Talk and Team Discussion sessions to help employers meet that obligation in a way that is useful rather than tokenistic.
What the sessions cover
- What psychosocial hazards are, in plain terms, with workplace examples
- The specific duties that recent legislative changes introduced
- How to identify risk factors already present in your workplace
- Practical controls that do not require a clinical background
- How to have a supportive conversation, and where to refer beyond it
Delivered to suit the workplace
Sessions run as a short toolbox talk or a longer facilitated team discussion, on site and at a time that fits your shift pattern. Content is adjusted for the industry and the audience — a depot crew and an office team need different examples.
Why it matters now
Psychosocial hazards are a recognised source of workplace injury and are increasingly a focus of regulator attention. Addressing them early is considerably less costly than managing a claim, an investigation or the loss of experienced staff.
