A neuroscience-informed leadership and compliance guide for safer, more resilient workplaces.
Overview
Workplace mental health is evolving fast — and so are compliance expectations. With new psychosocial regulations across Australia, organisations need more than policies — they need leaders equipped to translate compliance into culture and care.
This updated 2025 Playbook from Thomas Walker Consulting (TWC) helps HR, WHS and leadership teams navigate these changes with clarity and confidence. It bridges evidence-based psychology, neuroscience and practical workplace systems to create environments where people feel safe, supported and able to perform at their best.
What’s Inside
The Psychosocial Safety & Psychological Resilience Playbook includes:
✅ A clear compliance roadmap – aligned with WHS and new OHS (Psychological Health) regulations.
✅ Leadership practices that build psychological safety and strengthen team trust.
✅ Integrated frameworks showing how MHFA, coaching and counselling complement compliance.
✅ Practical tools and checklists for identifying, managing and reporting psychosocial risks.
✅ Micro-practices and governance templates to embed care, accountability and respect into daily operations.
Who It’s For
This playbook is designed for:
HR, WHS & Risk leaders – to meet psychosocial safety obligations and improve reporting culture.
Founders & executives – to build resilient, values-driven teams and retain talent.
Team leaders & managers – to lead calmly, prevent burnout, and manage conflict safely.
Why It Matters
National WHS and upcoming Victorian OHS regulations are raising the bar on psychosocial risk management. Compliance is no longer a checkbox — it’s about embedding psychological safety into leadership, culture and systems of work. The playbook provides practical, research-informed tools that support both compliance and wellbeing outcomes.
