Psych Health and Safety Podcast

In this episode we chat with Professor Michelle Tuckey, Professor of Work and Organisational Psychology at UniSA. She describes her research into the organisational factors that enable and reinforce bullying behaviour. She describes systems-level approaches that organisations can take to address bullying as an organisational issue rather than an individual one. She discusses how employers can respond when bullying is occurring in their organisation, and shares examples of strategies supervisors can implement to prevent bullying in their teams.

In this episode we chat with Hayley Farrell, Wellbeing Business Partner Lead for Emcor UK. Hayley shares her experience of the process of adopting ISO 45003 in a large company. She discusses the importance of including psychological health and safety as a strategic objective underpinning successful implementation, and describes how different functions across the organisation are able to collaborate and integrate when required. She shares tips for organisations in the early stages of implementation, including examples of what genuine leadership support looks like.
