Managing Psychosocial Hazards in the Modern Workplace

Giving leaders the tools and insights to recognise psychosocial hazards early and respond in an effective, balanced way.

The Evolving Workplace

Workplaces today are more complex, fast paced and interconnected than ever. Organisations are now required to proactively manage not just traditional safety considerations but also psychosocial hazards;

• High workloads or poor job clarity

• Low support from leaders or peers

• Exposure to conflict or bullying

• Remote and hybrid work challenges

• Vicarious trauma and emotionally demanding roles.

The Changing Environment

Reported psychological injuries in the workforce are increasing rapidly and governments are taking action.

• Workers’ Compensation mental health claims have doubled in the last 6 yrs and 92% are successful.

• Average cost per claim is $65k, nearly $20k more than the next highest claim category.

• In 2024 alone, there were 317 prosecutions by WHS (physical and psychosocial) with a 97% penalty infliction rate and an average penalty per prosecution of $117k.

Employers now have more responsibilities. Regulators have extended their powers, increased funding for enforcing compliance, and are handing out harsher penalties.

The Business Impact

Looking after the psychological safety of your people is not just the right thing to do, it makes good business sense.

Unchecked psychosocial risks erode productivity, drive turnover and weaken culture, while early action delivers stronger engagement, higher performance and more resilient teams.
