Boards, leaders and WHS professionals are increasingly confronting psychosocial risks including bullying, harassment, burnout, poor leadership behaviours and change management, the emergence of AI, fracturing social cohesion and the absence of psychological safety. At the same time, regulatory expectations have evolved, placing greater responsibility on organisations to identify, prevent and manage psychological harm in the workplace.

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience advising employers on complex workplace issues, along with insights from her bestselling book Broken to Safe and new release Rise Up, Fay Calderone explores how workplace culture has emerged as one of the most significant safety and governance challenges facing modern organisations. She will examine where organisations commonly fall short, unpack the growing legal and leadership obligations in this area, and share practical strategies for creating workplaces built on respect, accountability and trust.
