Psychological Safety in the Workplace (UK)
Course overview
In a world where mental health concerns are increasingly prevalent, fostering a psychologically safe workplace has never been more crucial. According to the UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE), work-related stress, depression, and anxiety accounted for 51% of all work-related ill health cases and 55% of all working days lost due to ill health in 2022/23. These figures highlight the growing importance of addressing mental well-being in the workplace.
Allara Global’s new course is designed to equip learners with a deeper understanding and enhanced capability to address psychosocial hazards in the workplace. Psychological safety in the workplace means ensuring that everyone feels comfortable, respected, and able to share their thoughts without fear. It’s about creating an environment where people can speak up, ask questions, and contribute their ideas without worrying about negative consequences. This fosters teamwork and promotes a positive workplace culture.
This course explores how to:
- Describe mental health and well-being concerns in the workplace.
- Understand the specific duties associated with different roles within a business.
- Identify common psychosocial hazards in the workplace.
- Apply strategies and tools to help manage psychosocial risks.
By prioritising psychological safety, we not only create a workplace where everyone feels heard and valued but also contribute to overall well-being and productivity.
Legal context
Employers in the UK have a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to protect employees from risks to their mental well-being, including psychosocial hazards. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Management Standards for Work-Related Stress provide guidance on identifying and addressing workplace stressors.
