From Commitment to Capability: Implementing Psychological Health and Safety in Large Organisations (webinar)

Webinar details

Large organisations often have established health and safety systems, governance frameworks and people management processes however translating these systems into effective management of psychosocial hazards remains a significant challenge.

This webinar will bring together leading practitioners to explore how large and complex organisations can embed psychological health and safety into existing business systems and decision-making processes.

Through practical examples and facilitated discussion, presenters will examine common implementation challenges, including governance, information sharing, role clarity, consultation, risk assessment, control effectiveness and measurement of outcomes. Presenters will also explore what effective psychosocial risk management could look like in practice for large organisations.

This session is designed for senior leaders, OHS professionals, HR practitioners and others responsible for driving psychological health and safety across large and complex workplaces.
