The growing use of collaborative robots in the workplace may pose significant psychosocial risks to workers’ mental health and their job security, but there are ways for organisations to smooth the transition, according to Monash University research.
Nearly 43 per cent of school principals triggered a “red flag” email in 2023, indicating serious psychosocial risks, potential for self-harm or serious impact on their quality of life, according to a recent research report. It also found that 54 per cent of principals reported being subjected to threats of violence (up from 49 per cent in 2022), 48 per cent reported being subjected to physical violence (up from 44 per cent in 2022) and bullying levels also rose to 38 per cent (up from 34 per cent in 2022).
