Making Psychosocial Risk Visible: Connecting Safety Data and Leadership Action During Transformation
Description
This practice-informed session explores how organisations can connect physical safety, people, and operational data to make psychosocial risk easier to see, discuss, and act on. Using an applied case study approach, it demonstrates how to simplify complex data into a practical leadership narrative, helping leaders focus on the most important risks, identify priorities, and take action in an ever-changing work environment. The session also shows how familiar safety and performance signals can make psychosocial risk more visible, relevant, and actionable for leaders responsible for transformation. By linking these signals, it creates a clearer picture of what is happening, enabling leaders to better understand and address the right risks.
