Psychological Health and Safety

Psychological health and safety is arguably the number one emerging issue for organisations. What are you doing to understand and support your people?

Breach of Faith and Psycho-Social Risk

August 8, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 1 Comment

This week has seen extraordinary scenes in my Territory. It is a long story but our Chief Minister went on the media yesterday speaking of a ‘Breach of Faith’. There was an inquiry held into a complex legal case and every stage in the line of the enquiry has resulted in deception, betrayal, … [Read more...] about Breach of Faith and Psycho-Social Risk

CARING ABOUT PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY

July 25, 2023 by Gabrielle Carlton 2 Comments

I sat down with Rob Long earlier this week to have a chat about psychological safety. As with many discussions with Rob it ended up a mind mapping moment which we decided to capture on video and have shared below. The discussion in this video highlights what psychological safety is and is not. I … [Read more...] about CARING ABOUT PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY

STOP ‘BREAKING’ PEOPLE! The notion of Psychological Safety

July 11, 2023 by Gabrielle Carlton 6 Comments

Last year I was supporting David at work. He came to me and asked to have a confidential conversation. It was any ordinary day but for David it was a day that his world imploded. He sat with me sobbing in despair and feeling hopeless and ‘broken’. David was not new to the realm of mental health. … [Read more...] about STOP ‘BREAKING’ PEOPLE!

“LEADERSHIP is TIME and a simple CUP OF COFFEE” Brian Darlington, Mondi I took a leap of faith 3 years ago and stepped away from my consulting business to immerse myself into being an employee. I wanted to be part of the machinations, to connect, to engage and grow with the people all working … [Read more...] about Learning to Learn Socially

What is Psychological Safety?

July 6, 2023 by Admin 18 Comments

Find Psychological Safety Resources HERE >>>> Mental Health is certainly a hot topic at the moment. Even the Safety Regulators are encouraging us to apply the same old ineffective safety methodologies to “fixing” the problem people.

Counter Intuitive Safety

June 29, 2023 by Mark Taylor Leave a Comment

Safety Lover or Safety Hater

June 28, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Safety Lover or Safety Hater What a crazy title for a blog but it was sponsored by a comment made to another blog recently. Apparently criticism of Safety (the archetype – capital S) means you become a safety (lower case ‘s’) hater. How interesting that criticism seeking to improve safety is … [Read more...] about Safety Lover or Safety Hater

Why Safety is Attracted to Behaviourism

June 28, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 11 Comments

There is no doubt that simplistic back and white binary thinking and methods are attractive. Who wants complex or ‘wicked’ when a simple delusion will do. All you have to do is place such a worldview over reality and make it fit your assumptions and then ensure you never talk about any of the … [Read more...] about Why Safety is Attracted to Behaviourism

A Comparison of Safety Paradigms

June 28, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 4 Comments

Inspectors and auditors are now ever mindful that … [Read more...] about A Comparison of Safety Paradigms

Myth and Symbols in Safety

June 27, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

A myth is not a fairy tale or fiction but a false belief made true by ‘anchoring' to a symbol. Myths/symbols are not historically or scientifically true but are made true by the mythical proposition of the symbol. We saw this in the last blog about posture. Despite dozens of safety text books that … [Read more...] about Myth and Symbols in Safety
