Course Overview
The Psychosocial Hazards and Your Positive Duty Workshop is designed for Directors, Board Members, Senior Executives and HR Leaders to help them identify what psychosocial hazards are in the workplace, and methods to address and reduce the potential harm to employees.
Delivered by highly experienced facilitators in an online classroom, this workshop offers an interactive learning environment that will equip participants with practical skills and knowledge to be able to better identify and manage psychosocial hazards.
The workshop provides participants with the opportunity to engage in case studies and group activities to deepen their understanding of how psychosocial hazards show up in the work environment, including recent case law examples to reinforce the significance of the learning material.
Workshop Learning Outcomes
The workshop will be delivered online. Participants can join from the comfort of their own working environment. To enhance the learning experience, workshop numbers will be kept to a maximum of 16 participants.
Participants should join each workshop prepared to interact with other participants, as some case studies and group work enables them to share and gain unique insights into how psychosocial hazards are managed in other organisations.
