Non-physical factors in the workplace can become detrimental to employees’ health and wellbeing. When poorly addressed, factors such as workload, change management and team dynamics become psychosocial hazards. These hazards can threaten the mental and physical wellbeing of employees and may lead to poor outcomes such as loss of concentration, poor decision-making, risky behaviours, increased error rate, reduced effectiveness and productivity, depression, and anxiety.

Workplace Options is organizing a training session designed to help leaders identify psychosocial risks and hazards and understand how they can be managed to promote employee wellbeing.
