Not all workplace hazards wear high-vis. Some sit quietly in job descriptions, Zoom calls, and Monday morning meetings — until they start to cause real harm.
In this episode of HR2GO, Karen Arnold is joined by Michelle from My Virtual Safety Manager to unpack the growing focus on psychosocial hazards in Australian workplaces. Together, they explore what these risks actually look like, why they matter, and how business owners can manage them without the jargon or overwhelm.
You’ll learn:
-
What counts as a psychosocial hazard (and how to spot early warning signs)
-
Why mental health is now a compliance issue, not just a wellbeing one
-
How to approach risk assessments and employee consultation with confidence
-
The real-world business impacts of ignoring cultural and mental health risks
Tune in for practical, plain-English insights to help you build safer, more respectful workplaces — and protect both your people and your business.
