Our workplaces are making us sick from pressure, chaos, and people. Psychosocial hazards are the invisible forces that chip away at our health, confidence, and sense of safety at work. In this talk, Dr. I. David Daniels will explore how everyday dysfunctions like unclear roles, impossible deadlines, toxic leadership, and chronic instability don’t just feel abusive — they are harmful.

You’ll learn how to spot these hazards across key zones:

• The Work Environment: When chaos, understaffing, or poor conditions turn every day into damage control.

• Job Design: When unclear roles, conflicting demands, or meaningless work destroy motivation.

• Organizational Change: When endless “restructuring” leaves employees spinning without support.

• People & Power: When poor communication, favoritism, or bullying define the culture.

• Work-Life Collision: When the job invades your off-hours, your peace, and your identity.

Psychosocial hazards aren’t “soft” problems — they’re real occupational risks linked to anxiety, burnout, and even physical illness. By naming them, we can start redesigning work to protect people — not just profits.
