Psychosocial Risk Practically: What Leaders Must Do (and how to prove you did)

Psychosocial risk is no longer a “nice to have” or an HR issue to delegate. It’s a legal, cultural, and leadership responsibility - and regulators are expecting organisations to prove they are actively managing it.

This 90-minute masterclass cuts through the noise and makes psychosocial risk practical, realistic, and actionable for leaders.

You’ll gain a clear understanding of what psychosocial risk actually means in day-to-day leadership, what regulators are looking for, and where many organisations are unintentionally exposed. Most importantly, you’ll learn what good looks like in practice - and how to demonstrate that you’ve met your obligations.

This session is designed for leaders who want clarity, confidence, and defensible action, without drowning in policy or theory.

Who this is for:

  • Senior leaders and executives

  • People leaders and managers

  • HR, WHS, and risk professionals who support leaders

  • Boards and leadership teams seeking clarity and assurance

You’ll leave this session with a practical framework, clear leadership actions, and a stronger understanding of how to confidently answer the question:
“What did you do - and how can you prove it?”

If you’re ready to move beyond awareness and into real, defensible action, this masterclass is for you.
