Psychosocial hazards might sound like corporate jargon, but at the heart of it, we’re talking about protecting your people from harm at work. In this episode, Wendy Jeffery-Lonnie from DFK Gooding Partners returns to break it down in plain English.

We explore what psychological safety really means, why it’s becoming a non-negotiable in business today, and what you, as a business owner, can do to create a safer, more sustainable workplace culture.

Whether you’ve heard whispers about legislation changes or just want to do better for your team, this episode is a must-listen. Wendy shares practical, common-sense ideas for identifying risks and taking simple steps to make work better for everyone.
