Psychosocial Risk Webinar Series

Psychosocial risks like workload, stress, fatigue, unacceptable behaviour are now firmly on the radar of WorkSafe NZ and many workplaces in New Zealand. But your team doesn’t need another compliance lecture. They need practical, well-structured conversations that lead to real action. That’s exactly what this this series delivers.

In a nutshell

Four short webinars (30–45 minutes each) designed to be run by you, with your team with no external facilitator required.

We’ve got all bases covered

Each module comes as a complete session-in-a-box:

  • a recorded webinar
  • a ready-to-use PowerPoint
  • and a practical workbook full of team activities.

Tools to help you

A manager, principal, team leader or health and safety representative simply presses play, works through the activities, and leads the discussion. These aren’t passive e-learning modules. They’re built to stimulate engagement, raise the issues that affect your workplace, and turn them into practical steps.

Who it’s for?

The series was designed with schools, kura and early childhood services in mind, but works equally well for councils, not-for-profits and businesses of any size. Modules 1 and 2 suit all staff; Modules 3 and 4 are especially valuable for managers, leaders and HSW representatives who need to know what to do when issues arise.

Proven in practice

This isn’t theory. Working Wise has spent over 25 years helping New Zealand organisations manage health, safety and wellbeing risk. When Rangitikei District Council needed to lift its game — including inadequate coverage of psychosocial risk and low staff engagement in reporting — we co-designed their HSW risk framework with them. Read the case study.

Four modules:


Module #1 — Creating a Positive Culture

The foundation. Your team explores what a positive workplace culture looks like, identifies what supports it and what gets in the way, and reframes psychosocial risk as an ongoing team conversation — not a policy on a shelf.


Module #2 — Recognising Unacceptable Behaviour

Clear definitions and terminology, plus practical options for early intervention. What you can do when behaviour is concerning but hasn’t become a formal complaint.

Realistic scenarios help teams practise appropriate early responses and boundaries.


Module #3 — Dealing with Unacceptable Behaviour and Reports

What happens once something is reported?

Your team walks through the risk management and investigation process,  gathering information, running a fair process, and putting controls in place to prevent it happening again.

This includes guidance on logging and managing incidents in GOSH for organisations that use it.


Module #4 — Problem-Solving Psychosocial Risk

A structured problem-solving process that turns long lists of issues like workload, behaviour, fatigue, staffing, into a prioritised, co-created action plan.

Available as a download, or as a facilitated session led by a Working Wise consultant across two x 2-hour blocks.

Workstation Assessment Training

Our experienced Occupational Health Nurse will guide your managers and workers through the best practices in setting up a workstation; knowing how to keep themselves well in relation to their desk, chair, monitor and other equipment.
