The First-of-Its-Kind Leadership Training on Psychosocial Hazards & Menopause
As Australian workplaces elevate psychosocial risk management, leaders must address hazards impacting employee wellbeing—especially for women. Fatigue, stress, and workload affect performance, retention, and safety - while menopause symptoms like brain fog, sleep disturbance and anxiety can compound these risks.
This unique, evidence-based training helps leaders to build capability in managing psychosocial hazards, embedding a culture of safety while creating a more inclusive, high performing workplace.
🔍 Did You Know?
Most organisations are unaware of their workplace gender breakdown and risks.
- Fatigue is a WHS risk that can be caused by job demands and work environment.
- Menopause symptoms can worsen fatigue-related risks, especially when workloads are high or support is lacking.
- 83% of employees experiencing menopause report workplace impacts—yet 70% feel uncomfortable raising the issue with their manager.
- Manager support matters—women who feel acknowledged are 50% less likely to leave their organisation.
- Many organisations lack visibility into the gendered breakdown of psychosocial risks—leading to gaps in retention and leadership progression.
Why This Training Stands Out
This is the first training of its kind to combine psychosocial risk management with workplace strategies for supporting women’s health during peri/menopause.
Leaders will walk away with the tools to:
- Recognise emerging risks before they escalate
- Hold confident, compliant, and compassionate conversations
- Align policies with new WHS regulations and best-practice DEI
- Strengthen retention, productivity, and gender equity
