In today’s working environment, occupational risks are not limited to physical hazards. Increasingly, psychological factors pose a threat to employees’ safety, health and motivation: constant stress, unclear roles, conflicts, emotional pressure, manipulation, belittling and a poor culture of communication.
The seminar will explore how ‘psychological games’ – mechanisms of control, guilt, fear, silence, passive aggression and power – arise in the workplace. Participants will learn how to distinguish healthy conflict from manipulation, constructive feedback from belittling, and normal fatigue from the risk of burnout.
The seminar is based on the principles of psychology, occupational health and safety, and psychosocial risk management. There is a strong focus on practical application: situation analysis, assessment tests, conflict scenarios and specific phrases to help set boundaries.
The seminar is aimed at managers, team leaders, HR specialists, occupational health and safety specialists and occupational risk assessors.
Seminar participants will learn:
- recognise psychological games in the workplace;
- understand the mechanisms of manipulation, control and passive aggression;
- assess the signs of psychosocial risks;
- distinguish between conflict and psychological abuse, and respond to conflicts;
- understand the signs of burnout;
- use phrases to set emotional boundaries;
- create a psychologically safer working environment.
The seminar will be led by Kornelija Šablinskė, a specialist from the Occupational Risk Department at UAB ‘SDG’, and Santa Sliesoraitytė, a psychologist and lecturer.
