02. Leadership Roles in Psychological Health Management
Empower leaders to identify, assess, and record psychosocial risks with clarity and confidence.
Why This Matters
In a recent cross-industry survey, 65% of HR professionals said they feel unprepared to manage workplace psychological health risks.
At the same time, over 70% of psychological injuries reported to regulators involved poor leadership response to known hazards.
✅ Leaders are expected to manage stress, burnout, bullying, and other psychosocial risks — but without the right systems, documentation, or training, many struggle to respond effectively and legally.
This training gives your leaders the knowledge and tools to meet both compliance and cultural expectations — without guesswork or grey areas.
What This Module Covers
