Psychosocial risks - turn them to your advantage
Larsen Jensen and Bluestone HSE invite you to an innovative two day workshop which explores psychosocial hazards and risks in the workplace and the strategies, tools and techniques to turn psychosocial risk management into an opportunity.
“Workplace psychosocial risk is like the silent scream of modern work life. It saps the strength of organisations and dwindles the potential of employees, yet it's often ignored or misunderstood.”
- Anon.
Two Day Psychosocial Risks Workshop
To meet the growing business and legal challenges of managing psychosocial risk in the workplace, we need to shift our beliefs around what success looks like, and what we measure.
In addition, to bypass the pitfalls of compliance overload and box ticking, psychological wellbeing needs to be clearly addressed at an organisational and leadership level, not just at an individual level.
“It's time for every organisation to recognise that mental health is as important as physical safety.”
- Arianna Huffington
Shift The Paradigm
Optimising psychosocial risk management requires a paradigm shift in how we view people, responsibility and success:
People can’t be well and unwell at the same time.
Everyone has the capacity to be complete and show up mentally and emotionally fit for work.
It’s the environment that leads to the risk, so wellbeing needs to be defined at an organisational level, not just an individual level.
Everyone has an impact on the psychosocial ecosystem and needs to be involved.
Who Should Attend?
Health and Safety Professionals
Wellbeing Professionals
Senior Leaders and Managers
Project Directors &
Project Managers
All participants will have the opportunity to be part of a supportive network of like-minded peers who are developing their own strategies and systems to manage psychosocial hazards and risks in the workplace.
Create Your Own Blueprint
As well as discussing the legislative requirements of identifying, assessing and managing psychosocial risk, you will discover:
Three beliefs that underpin a positive psychosocial wellbeing culture.
Three principles of how we design work and workplaces that apply to every hazard, project, initiative, and team interaction.
The specific roles required at an organisational, leader, and team member level to build this culture.
A customised blueprint of how to integrate the beliefs, principles and roles and apply them to turn psychosocial hazards into business opportunities.
NOTE: Your workshop registration fee includes a one hour ‘learning pod’ to be held four weeks after the workshop to share and discuss insights, wins, and ongoing challenges.
“Workplaces don't always have to be a source of stress, but instead can be a buffer against it.”
- Leslie Hammer
Immersive Experience
The program will be an immersive experience with sessions aimed at deepening your understanding of the concepts and ideas being presented. The workshop will include:
Case Studies: Analyse the success of companies that have proven strategies to effectively manage psychosocial risks.
Lessons Learnt: Assess the lessons learnt from early movers in the space, including both successful and unsuccessful psychosocial risk management strategies.
Practical Tools: Introduce strategies and tools that shift the theory into practice and allow you to hit the ground running in addressing psychosocial risks.
Group Activities: Expect a healthy exchange of ideas, followed up by problem-solving scenarios and engaging activities aimed at embedding the fundamental concepts introduced throughout the program.
“Our work lives pull so much from us, but health should never be one of the compromised.”
- Emma Seppälä.
