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?

Using EAP for Psychosocial Risk

September 16, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

When I worked in an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) we knew that less than 3-6% of employees used that service, even though it was free. This is also supported by extensive research. In reality, what happens when people are in distress or suffering psychosocial issues they approach trusted family … [Read more...] about Using EAP for Psychosocial Risk

Culture Cloud Tour

August 10, 2024 by Matt Thorne 1 Comment

No Psychological Safety in Zero

July 7, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Organisations that identify safety as zero must logically supress ‘speaking up’ in safety. Zero is an ideology of the absolute (https://www.humandymensions.com/product/zero-the-great-safety-delusion/) and any absolute in organising supresses discussion, dialogue, listening and … [Read more...] about No Psychological Safety in Zero

More Pop-Psych on Failure and Other Safety Entertainment

July 6, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

I read the latest pop-psych instalment from Edmonston on the ‘science’ of failing well. It’s amazing how gullible people are when someone throws in the word ‘science’, when what follows has nothing to do with science. Heinrich used this strategy (https://safetyrisk.net/hoodwinked-by-heinrich/) years … [Read more...] about More Pop-Psych on Failure and Other Safety Entertainment

The Naivety of Psychological Safety

July 5, 2024 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

One of the fascinating things about the Discourse of ‘psychological safety’ is its many silences. This is despite the fact that the advocates for psychological safety argue that silence is the problem. Apparently, the test for psychological safety is speaking up and being critical.

Feeling Lost and the art of Sensemaking

June 18, 2024 by Admin 2 Comments

By Billy Snead One thing I have noticed since attending the SPOR convention in Canberra in May is that many of us in risk and safety are at a crossroads of a new job or career or maybe just a change in direction of how we will conduct work.  Which direction do I take? How should I proceed in … [Read more...] about Feeling Lost and the art of Sensemaking

Stress Research, Resilience and Radical Wholeness

January 25, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

It should be no surprise to anyone that there is a direct link between poor biological health and psychosocial health (https://neurosciencenews.com/financial-stress-health-25511/). The research also shows that brain-centrism is a distraction from the need to focus holistically on health. So much of … [Read more...] about Stress Research, Resilience and Radical Wholeness
