Listen "Managing Psychosocial Risk"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Under the Rug at Work, where we shine light on the things that are normally swept under the rug. I’m your host, Nicole Turnbull, and today I’m chatting with Dr Caroline Howe about the biggest problem employers face when managing psychosocial risk.Caroline is the founder of Create Today, How Safe and My Social Support Network. With over 30 years of experience across government, academia and frontline roles, she brings deep insight into why workplaces are still struggling to meet psychosocial safety obligations.In this episode, we discuss:The confusion around legislation, roles and responsibilitiesWhy many leaders still focus on physical risk and miss the cultural pieceWhat happens when employers get it wrong - and why the cost is too highPLUS, the launch of the Psychosocial Safety and Leadership Institute - an initiative designed to support leaders, HR and WHS professionals with practical tools, community and guidance they can actually use.Most organisations aren’t failing because they don’t care. They’re failing because they don’t know where to start, and they’re afraid of getting it wrong. The Institute exists to change that. We help leaders move from confusion to confidence, and from compliance to genuine culture change.Remember to subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.Find out more and join the community:Website: https://www.psychosocialsafety.institute/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/psychosocial-safety-and-leadership-instituteInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychosocialsafetyinstitute/Email: [email protected]
