From Harm to High Performance: The Awaiting Opportunity of Psychosocial Risk Management

The psychosocial environment is a critical strategic priority for organisational success. When managed effectively, it drives underlying dynamics and provides accessible levers for improving employee health and work outcomes.

Some organisations are already reaping the benefits of recognising this reality and using psychosocial risk management as a vehicle for high performance. While others who resist or still treat it as solely a compliance exercise are quickly falling behind.

In this paper, we explore:

Groundbreaking real-world data from Australian organisations, the first of its kind globally, revealing the true financial cost of psychosocial environments

An early Mibo case study that reshaped our understanding of psychosocial environments

The significant cost savings achievable through supportive and well-designed work environments

The greater vision: how psychosocial work factors act as levers for high performance
