Psychosocial Risk in Healthcare: What Employers Need to Control

Suzanne Dove

Healthcare and care-based workplaces are under increasing pressure.

From high workloads, difficult interactions with patients and staff shortages to emotional demands and workplace conflict, psychosocial hazards are now recognised as workplace risks that employers must actively identify and manage.

As SafeWork regulators continue to focus on psychosocial hazards, employers need to understand what risks exist in their workplace, what practical controls should be in place, and how to meet their compliance obligations.

In this practical webinar, our experts will explore the psychosocial risks most commonly affecting healthcare workplaces and share practical strategies to help employers meet their obligations while supporting employee wellbeing.

In just 60 minutes:

  • Understanding the workplace factors that contribute to stress, burnout, fatigue, bullying and psychological injury
  • What employers need to do to identify, assess and control psychosocial risks
  • Common compliance gaps that could leave your business exposed
  • Practical strategies for embedding psychosocial risk management into your broader WHS framework
