This session provides an introduction to the intersection of psychosocial hazards, mental health, and remote and hybrid work within an international HR context. 

Through two case studies, participants will explore the unique challenges that can arise when employees are working away from their usual support networks and environments. 

The discussion will focus on: 

  • An international student who has completed her studies and transitioned into a hybrid work environment in Australia. 

  • An experienced Australian manager undertaking an assignment in the Middle East. 
     

Using these real-world scenarios, we will examine:

  • Common psychosocial hazards and mental health risks associated with remote, hybrid, and international work arrangements. 

  • The impact of isolation, cultural adjustment, role expectations, and work-life boundaries on employee wellbeing. 

  • The responsibilities of employers, leaders, and HR professionals in identifying and managing psychosocial risks. 

  • Practical strategies to support employee wellbeing, prevent harm, and create psychologically safe work environments.

 

Participants will leave with a greater understanding of psychosocial hazards and practical approaches to supporting wellbeing in today’s evolving workplace.

 

Target Audience  

This session is ideal for people leaders, HR professionals, and employees who work remotely, in hybrid arrangements, or across international locations.
