Rethinking individual psychosocial risks: apply your knowledge

Strengthen your professional judgement; apply your capability to psychosocial risks impacting individuals.

How employees approach their work and the risks they take fundamentally impacts business performance. When individual capability and professional judgement are underdeveloped, organisations carry the downstream cost.

Workers in low psychosocial safety climates take about 43 % more sickness hours and show 72 % higher performance loss, costing organisations an estimated $6 billion per year in lost productivity. (Becher & Dollard, 2016)

This event is part of the “Rethinking psychosocial risks” lunchtime thought-bite webinar series for business leaders, WHS, People and Culture, and HR professionals.

In this ‘thought-bite’ 20-minute session, we’ll:

• Apply critical thinking to complex individual psychosocial risk scenarios
• Strengthen your professional judgement by identifying specific hazard interactions
• Develop capability to mitigate psychosocial risks impacting individuals

We will follow this content with a 10–15 minute Q&A, focused on practical questions and sense-making.

📌 Takeaway: Leave with a clear, applied capability to identify and respond to psychosocial risks impacting individuals in your workplace.

👉 This is Part 4 of our lunchtime thought bite series on individual psychosocial risk management, building towards deeper practical application.
