Overview
Australian workplaces are facing a mental health crisis, as more employees encounter psychosocial hazards that heighten the risk of work-related psychological injuries. Despite the rising prevalence of psychological health issues and a decline in physical injuries, workplace injury legislation has not fully addressed this issue. Research indicates that improved mental health leads to flourishing employees, decreased absenteeism, enhanced engagement, job satisfaction, lower turnover, and increased talent attraction. However, many organisations struggle to define what constitutes a safe workplace and the responsibility of employers in fostering it.
The Public Sector Network’s Managing Psycho-Social Safety in the Workplace equips HR professionals and team leaders with insights and tools to establish a psychologically safe workplace. Attendees will acquire practical knowledge to enhance psycho-social safety, boost productivity, and cultivate an environment where employees can thrive.
