Minimising Psychosocial Risk

Embed an organisation-wide approach to mental health that actually works

Description

"In December 2023 - The amended Work Health and Safety Regulations prescribe how duty holders must identify and manage hazards and risks to workers' psychological health and safety. Organisations need to consider and review approaches to managing psychosocial risks and fostering mentally healthy workplaces."

About

Many organisations deliver mental health strategies that lack sufficient practical tools, or focus excessively on individual-level strategies and neglect organisation-wide and systemic approaches. What’s more, current leadership practices can inadvertently heighten psychosocial risks, failing to promote a thriving workplace. This approach also risks noncompliance with psychosocial risk legislation, highlighting the need for a comprehensive mental health framework.

This module takes your leaders from:

Delivering programs that tick boxes but often don’t produce lasting effects to delivering programs that really move the needle on mental health and wellbeing.
Relying solely on individual-level wellbeing approaches to embedding effective mental health strategies and language throughout the organisation.
Using leadership practices and policies that exacerbate psychosocial risk to embedding new practices and policies that instead foster organisational thriving.
