Psychological Safety vs Psychosocial Risks and Hazards

What is the difference?

"I found the Oranges Toolkit course extremely rewarding. It was so much fun to do and gives you a number of really useful tools for both work and personal life."

Psychological Safety at Work is to foster a culture of trust, respect, and collaboration to enhance productivity and engagement. To create a psychological safe environment whereby all team members feel safe to speak up when they disagree, that they feel they won’t be ridiculed if they screw up and that they can be themselves at work.

Whereas Managing Psychosocial Risks and Hazards is to reduce risks and hazards in your workplace that may cause harm to an employee's mental and emotional health.

Creating a psychologically safe work environment is key for organisations to understand what risks or hazards may be evident in their work environment.

poor organisational change management

What people say about us

“This training is so different to anything we’ve had before, there was a new spark in people when they left that room. The level of motivation, the energy around the individuals and the group about wanting to share this and do something different was immense.”

Martyn Campbell

Executive Director, SafeWork SA

“DHL Express held an Australian Commercial Conference and the Oranges session was voted the best and most relevant of all in the 3 day conference. In a world of uncertainty you can be most effective if you truly focus on what you can actually control, YOU.”

Gary Edstein

CEO / Senior Vice President, DHL Express, Oceania

“The Oranges Toolkit webinars have had a major impact on all of our employees who took part. They were interactive, the content was relevant and based on the latest science, plus we had an engaging playbook – all these factors helped to set the webinars apart from any others that we had run. Whilst we were all taking part remotely, the webinars made us feel that we were all together – the positivity, care and support was resonating from our screens!”

“The Oranges Toolkit content was not only practical but also clearly grounded in science and current thinking around improving wellness and resilience. Our post-workshop feedback from staff was very positive. Staff learnt some valuable life skills that could be applied immediately and they also had plenty of fun. Given our corporate values around philanthropy, we were also drawn to the Oranges Toolkit as a social enterprise and knowing profits are going to such an important cause.”
