Psychosocial Safety Training for Staff.
Be Buoyant and thrive in your workplace.
Psychosocial Safety 101.
This award-winning digital program is designed to support organisations in meeting psychosocial safety obligations under the WHS Code of Practice, while building individual and team resilience.
Why Tackling Mental and Social Risks is as Crucial as Physical Safety
At progressa, we believe that a truly safe workplace goes beyond hard hats and safety signs—it starts with fostering mental well-being and positive social dynamics. Our Psychosocial Hazard Reduction Training equips organisations with the knowledge, strategies, and tools to identify, address, and prevent risks to mental health at work.
From stress management to fostering supportive cultures, our expert-led programs create lasting change by promoting well-being and resilience.
Boost Employee Well-Being and Productivity
A mentally healthy workforce is a more engaged and productive one. Reducing psychosocial risks helps prevent burnout, stress, and absenteeism, ensuring employees feel motivated and supported to do their best work.
Enhance Workplace Culture and Retention
A safe, respectful, and inclusive environment attracts and retains top talent. Proactively managing psychosocial risks fosters trust, loyalty, and stronger workplace relationships.
Meet Legal Obligations and Industry Standards
With increasing regulations around psychosocial safety, compliance is essential. Implementing psychosocial hazard reduction programs ensures your organisation stays ahead of legal requirements and demonstrates your commitment to employee well-being.
Reduce Costs Associated with Mental Health Issues
Addressing psychosocial hazards early can significantly reduce expenses tied to absenteeism, turnover, healthcare, and compensation claims, helping employers avoid costly disruptions.
By embedding this capability within the workforce, organisations build a proactive safety culture that supports people before a crisis occurs.
Developed by expert L&D professionals in line with the psychosocial safety at work Code of Practice (April, 2023).
