Psychological Health & Safety

Psychological Health and Safety (PHS) pertains to the study and management of psychosocial risks in the workplace. Psychological health and well-being have long been critical issues within organizational settings. Conditions such as stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression not only incur substantial financial costs but also lead to high rates of long-term sickness and absenteeism, resulting in significant disruptions to business operations. However, recent research has shown that psychosocial risks have a large impact beyond mental health. In recent years, we realized that psychological health issues are often the root cause or a contributing cause to many physical injuries in the workplace.

Many organizations feel ill-equipped to address these challenges effectively. Approaches to PHS have often been superficial, reactive, or entirely overlooked. A psychologically safe workplace is one where employees are shielded from stressors that negatively impact their performance and contribute to physical injuries.

Organizations that prioritize the mental health of their employees tend to experience increased productivity, higher levels of employee engagement, and improved staff retention. Furthermore, a strong emphasis on mental well-being can mitigate the risks of workplace accidents caused by issues such as loss of concentration, distraction, frustration, fatigue, and complacency.
