Early Intervention Management

Provide leaders with the knowledge, skills and confidence to intervene early to minimise psycho-social risk and improve engagement.

Developing early intervention leadership is key to reducing behavioural-based psychological risk. When leaders can identify and address unsafe behaviours before they escalate, they create an environment where proactive actions protect and strengthen workplace culture.


This course, designed and delivered by employee relations and leadership experts, covers:

  • Strategies for effective counselling conversations using our Counselling/Effective Conversations framework.
  • The brainโ€™s organising principles and their impact on emotions and behaviour.
  • How destructive workplace cultures evolve and the negative effects of unsafe behaviours on psychological safety and employee engagement.
  • The link between strong relationships and effective management of red zone issues.
  • Key legal risks for leaders in the red zone and practical steps to mitigate them.
  • Best practices for maintaining accurate records, including file notes and preliminary investigations.

  • Duration: Full-day (6 hours) or two 3-hour sessions (with at least one week between sessions)
