Workshop A: Managing the psychosocial risks associated with workplace change

Post-Conference Workshop A | Friday 27 November 2020 | 09.00 – 12.00

Managing the psychosocial risks associated with workplace change

Change is a constant reality of modern working life, and yet despite this it continues to be recognised as one of the major factors impacting on employee mental health and wellbeing at work. Understanding the psychological effects of change on individuals, as well as recognising the strategic approach organisations can take to mediate the impact on team and employee mental health are integral to the successful management of change in workplaces.

This interactive workshop will explore practical strategies for managing workplace change and protecting employee psychological health, including:

  • The current state of workplace change and change management
  • Understanding the psychological impact of change – mental health, stress regulation, neurological perspective, and the psychological contract
  • Workplace change in the psychosocial safety climate framework
  • Key mitigation strategies: communication, consultation, support
  • Applying other psychosocial strategies
  • We will apply the learning to case studies and formulate takeaway action plans
