Do Your Leaders Know How To Minimize Psychosocial Risks?

Unfortunately, every job involves some psychosocial risks that can increase work-related stress, harm people’s mental and physical health, and if prolonged, can lead to burnout. As a growing list of countries advocate – and in Australia regulate – workplaces to proactively address psychosocial (emotional and social) hazards, leaders need to be able to recognize and minimize these risks.

But how can you pull this off practically given all the responsibilities your leaders are already juggling? The good news is our world-leading team of workplace wellbeing researchers have partnered with MinterEllison’s employment lawyers to do the hard work for you by creating ‘E-Learning For Minimizing Psychosocial Risks’.
