WORKPLACE EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Under the WHS Act, ‘health’ includes both physical and psychological wellbeing. A person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) has a primary duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of workers, and to ensure others are not put at risk by work activities. Poorly managed psychosocial hazards - such as stress, bullying, or poor workplace culture - can increase the risk of both psychological and physical injuries, as well as incidents and errors.
Leaders and managers participating in workshops is a systematic approach to managing these risks. The workshops are designed to support organisations in meeting their WHS duties, reduce organisational disruption and costs, and improve overall performance and productivity - notwithstanding a significant saving to the organisation in relation to reputation, workers’ compensation, and legal claims.
WORKSHOPS
Leading Culture by Managing Psychosocial Safety in Aviation
(Under Development)
Due for release July 2025
A half-day, face-to-face training workshop.
Psychosocial hazards in the workplace refer to aspects of work that can negatively affect a person’s mental health, emotional wellbeing, or social functioning. These hazards don’t come from physical dangers, but rather from the way work is organised, the social environment, and the culture of the workplace.
In Australia, under WHS laws, employers have a legal duty to identify and manage these risks just as they would physical hazards. Unmanaged psychosocial hazards can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout, fatigue, and increased staff turnover - ultimately impacting safety and performance.
Good mental health in your business starts with a culture that effectively manages psychosocial hazards in the workplace. This workshop provides management and leaders a framework to identify, eliminate and minimise risks.
