WEBINAR | GYST LEARNING SERIES
Protecting Psychosocial Health in High Pressure Environments
As organisations across the world face increasing performance pressures, rapid change, and rising expectations around psychosocial safety, leaders are being asked to manage not only results but the wellbeing and psychological health of their teams.
In this webinar, psychologist Kym Lincolne explores how leaders can protect psychosocial health in high-pressure environments while still maintaining accountability, performance, and operational focus.
Drawing on psychological research and real organisational examples, Kym will share practical insights into how pressure, workload, role clarity, and leadership behaviour influence psychological safety and team wellbeing.
Rather than focusing solely on compliance, this session looks at the everyday leadership behaviours that help teams remain supported, and able to perform under pressure.
Participants will leave with practical strategies they can apply immediately to strengthen trust, manage pressure more effectively, and support healthier, more sustainable team performance.
