Workplace Conversations

Harnessing expertise from organisational, forensic, and clinical arms of psychology, Workplace Conversations provide a suite of tailored wellbeing services. We are passionate about proactively supporting the psychological health and safety of staff in high pressure industries and enhancing ongoing self-care. Workplace Conversations can assist your organisation in taking proactive steps to protect and support your workforce and minimise the ongoing impacts of the work on self and others. Taking an innovative, evidence-based approach, we combine experiential learning, debriefing and peer support to unpack key risk factors and psychological concepts in a collaborative and safe space. Research suggests a greater focus on group-based organisational initiatives is key in reducing stigma surrounding mental health and wellbeing issues and improving peer and managerial relationships. It also builds stronger peer connections, which has significant tangible benefits to the individual, organisation, and wider work culture – by reducing the overall burden of adverse psychological outcomes. Whether it is a one-off workshop, training, supervision, debriefing or an ongoing programme imbedded within your organisation, we can tailor our services to your needs. Spotlight on the legal profession The increasing evidence of the psychosocial harms in the legal profession and the impact of these on lawyer wellbeing, workplace productivity and job satisfaction warrants specialised research and support. The need for more proactive support was a prominent theme in our latest research collaboration as industry partners on the Malcolm Moore Industry Research Grant with RMIT University.
