Psychosocial Hazards (Managers)

Our tailored Psychosocial Hazards training for managers expands on the core concepts, focusing on proactive measures to prevent and address psychosocial risks within teams.

Managers will learn how to identify common hazards, apply control measures, and implement preventative strategies. The session also covers the importance of reporting hazards and supporting colleagues impacted by psychosocial risks. Through interactive learning, participants will gain the tools to lead with confidence, manage team wellbeing, and minimise potential liability for the business. Supported by the expertise of senior consultants and backed by the resources of Australia’s leading national employment law firm, Kingston Reid, this session ensures that managers can navigate complex psychosocial hazards in the workplace effectively, promoting a safe and supportive team environment.

Effective management of psychosocial hazards in the workplace is crucial to ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all employees.

As part of Australia’s evolving health and safety landscape, addressing psychosocial hazards is not only essential for mitigating risks such as workplace stress, bullying, and harassment but also forms a key compliance obligation under Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws. Equipping your people with the skills to identify and address issues before they escalate ensures you not only meet their legal duties but also promote a healthier, more productive workplace, reducing conduct risks and fostering a positive organisational culture.

Appropriate Workplace Behaviour, Respect@Work (Managers)

Tailored specifically for managers, this session expands on employee-level training by incorporating practical strategies for addressing complaints, managing workplace conflict, and fostering a culture of respect.

Participants will focus on identifying and managing inappropriate behaviour, the importance of bystander intervention, and managing risks associated with harassment and discrimination. The session is designed to give managers the tools to address complex situations, make effective decisions in line with legislative changes, and support a healthy work environment. With guidance backed by Australia’s top employment law firm, managers will gain an understanding of liability, and best practice for managing complaints and misconduct.

Respect@Work has never been more topical in the Australian corporate conversation.

Conduct risks to organisations continue to rise with obligations to proactively eliminate sex discrimination and sexual harassment in line with the new legislative duties imposed by amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth). It is critical for you to ensure that your workforce have the skills to be able to both identify and deal with cultural issues and inappropriate behaviour.
