Managing Psychological Hazards through Workplace Culture

Intended workshop audience: Small to medium-sized businesses

Workshop Description: Psychosocial hazards in the workplace can often be misunderstood or ignored.

Building and maintaining a positive workplace culture is a great way to both identify and manage these often invisible hazards and foster mentally healthy teams.

This workshop will explore what psychosocial hazards are, how they may present, and some simple and cost-effective strategies operators can implement to identify and control them.

This practical session will also provide Tasmanian tourism operators the tools to build resilient workplaces and retain great staff, even in challenging times. it explores how small changes to workplace culture and leadership can lead to big improvements in staffing, morale, and performance.
