This episode marks the first in a new Ashurst series on Employment and Safety law developments in Australia. After collaborating on a landmark psychosocial risk court case, Ashurst partner Scarlet Reid and State Chambers barrister Bruce Hodgkinson AM SC reflect on what employers might learn. Along the way, Scarlet and Bruce discusses the threshold for psychosocial harm and whether stress meets that test, the complexities of what constitutes “reasonable management action” and the importance of regularly updating employer policies. They also emphasise the value of training and instruction for line managers so that they can handle sensitive discussions in a way that is legally compliant, psychologically safe, and appropriate. “There’s so much learning to come in this area,” Scarlet adds. “Guidance from courts will be very important as this area of the law continues to develop.” To listen to this and subscribe to future episodes in this series search for “Ashurst Legal Outlook” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favourite podcast player.

From laptop-toting C-sections to spreadsheet nightmares, employee leave management has long been one of HR's most complex and frustrating challenges. Mahima Chawla, CEO and co-founder of Cocoon, is changing all that with a revolutionary approach to leave administration.Mahima shares how a chance conversation sparked her journey into the leave management space. When a colleague described bringing her laptop to her C-section to file for state benefits, Mahima was shocked by the fragmented nature of employee leave – with different time allocations, multiple payment sources, and employees left to navigate complicated paperwork during already stressful life transitions. After speaking with dozens of HR leaders who universally described leave as "an absolute nightmare," she recognized an opportunity to transform this overlooked but critical function.Cocoon tackles five major headaches for HR teams: navigating complex compliance regulations, managing multi-source payroll calculations, coordinating intricate workflows, improving employee experiences, and providing valuable benchmarking data. What makes their approach unique is their focus on automation – Mahima explains that 95% of leave management involves objective decisions perfectly suited for software handling, creating consistency while freeing HR professionals from administrative burdens.Beyond streamlining processes, Cocoon is addressing financial barriers that often prevent employees from taking needed leave. By ensuring employees understand their payment sources and helping them access entitled funds, the platform supports both employers and workers during critical life moments. Looking ahead, Mahima envisions expanding Cocoon's capabilities across more industries and geographies, while predicting that the definition of "leave" itself will continue evolving beyond traditional categories to embrace more of life's realities.Connect with Mahima on LinkedIn and follow Cocoon's page for updates on their appearances at major industry events including HR Transform and DMEC in 2025.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

“There is actually a growing issue called presenteeism. It's when people are showing up at work, but they're either unwell, or they're burnt out, or they are just not able to do their best work. There was a recent survey which was conducted, it's a government survey. And it's shown that presenteeism…has cost UK businesses 25 billion pounds since 2018.” In episode #805 of the Inspiring Women in CX podcast, Clare is joined by CEO and Founder Clare White for an insightful and energising conversation about building human-centred organisations through culture, leadership and employee empowerment. Clare shares her “wiggly” career journey, from a passion project in horse racing to leading large teams and shaping CX at global brands like P&G, Microsoft and Disney. A defining moment came when she led a culture transformation at an organisation struggling with poor performance, unhappy clients, and disengaged employees.

We just discussed it as we started. How do we pronounce it in Spanish as Caraballo? So here you go. That's how I say it. How are you today, Dr. Josh? Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD I'm doing very well. Thank you for asking Sabine and thank you for your time today. It's such an honor and pleasure to be on your show. Sabine Kvenberg Well, I can't wait to hear more about your story and what you do and who you help. But let me ask you, what is an industrial organizational psychologist? Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD What a wonderful question. It really is. Well, if it feels better to you and those who are listening, you could just say business psychologist or business psychology, as we sometimes refer to it as just to simplify things. But industrial organization or I.O. psychology is another way to say it as well, encompasses so many different facets. so instead of telling you everything, Sabine Kvenberg Yeah, it's a mouthful. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD that is underneath this huge umbrella. In fact, I think last time I checked, there's at least 24 different buckets, if you will, that you can concentrate on when it comes to IO psychology. And what I like to tell people, it's pretty much the simplest way to talk about it is anything having to do with human behavior in the workplace, with the caveat that we are not clinical psychologists. So we're not coming in and diagnosing people with ailments. from a mental health perspective or working with leaderships to determine what types of mental health programs need to be instituted. That would be a clinical psychologist who engages in that and maybe even going as far as to diagnosing people with very specific sort of Sabine Kvenberg you Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD (02:11.778) diagnoses that would need a clinician to help them, you know, maybe get through or even try to ameliorate some of those negative symptoms. Instead, what we're doing, work at the individual, the group, and the institutional level with an eye towards so many different things. But what I really like to focus on is employee wellbeing. which obviously goes beyond just the workplace because the wellbeing considerations and human flourishing is another way to put that, isn't just about what you do at work. So a lot of times what we do in the IO world actually spills over into your actual life outside. Another element of that would be employee engagement. And there are many different facets of engagement on how to measure it. and how to help people in your organizations to be engaged. But again, I go with there are so many different ways to apply these principles outside of work, especially if you want to engage in life more deeply, this is something, these are some elements and models that can be utilized. So I'll stop there with those two big buckets, but yeah. Sabine Kvenberg I can see that is probably a very, very broad topic. So the question is, who is hiring you? Is it just like bigger company that wanted to improve their culture, their culture, or is it smaller company or individuals? Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Yeah, you're hitting it right on the nail, so to speak. it's, yes, all of those things are viable opportunities for IO psychologists. A lot of times we do work as organizational consultants. We could do that internally or externally. For me, I started out consulting here and there, but it never materialized into something that actually took up 40 hours a week. And so what I ended up doing for my trajectory, was working for nonprofits. I've always had this sort of affinity with the nonprofit mission and mission orientation, generally speaking, because it makes me feel much more fulfilled. This is also part of what we teach and what we learn about implementing well-being and flourishing models into the workplace. When you can align... Sabine Kvenberg Okay, so why would it make you more fulfilled when you work with a non-profit organization? Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Well, it's not a guarantee. let me use that as a caveat. You could find yourself just as fulfilled in a for-profit organization. In my experience, and this is not a research assessment, I have found that being in an organization that is nonprofit, when removing that profit motive, has been very helpful for me. I have come across organizations that make decisions based on trying to increase their profit motive. And that to me does not resonate with my own values. And I find that although it is a necessity, I get it and I understand it. If I could avoid doing that sort of work, I tend to find a lot more creative expression, more value and more alignment with who I am. Sabine Kvenberg I totally get it. I totally get it because especially when we see some of the companies out there, for profit companies, it's nothing against making profit. We all do. We live from profits. That's our bread and butter. But I think the difference sometimes is what I see is when companies create profits, on the backs of people, not in a healthy way, of nature, our planet, and the animal kingdom. And I just talked about that with another guest, actually. I don't know how we got to that point, but I believe when, and there are the beautiful companies out there, for-profit companies who have that in mind, who have people first, people before profit. And truly, I believe if you have that in mind, you still can be so profitable, wealthy and create beautiful things. It's just how you, what take you take on the whole situation. So, and I think that probably also goes in alignment with what you teach and do. Because I believe when people are happier in their organization, when they feel acknowledged and valued and not being taken advantage of and get their fair share. Because at the end, if they would not be there working for the big on the top guy, nothing would be happening, right? So what's your take on that? Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Mm. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Mmm. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD All right. Yeah. I love what you said. There's so much gold in those statements that you just said. And I agree with you. think when there's a profit motive, more than likely, what's happening is there is an incentive to really extract as much as possible from people, places, and things. And if you think about it, the underlying mechanism at place is really squeezing out the most value. But the difference that can take place here, and what I love about nonprofits, is instead of squeezing out all the most value that you possibly can for your bottom line, it can be about squeezing out the most value for your people, or for the people that you serve, or for the people that are internal to your organization. for the mission and the vision to make sure that everything that is done, every decision that's made, every initiative that is put into place is all about that same thing. How do we provide value from this? And by removing that the fact that you're trying to make more money and increase your bottom line, it's not that money considerations go away completely in a nonprofit world, but... if you're not making a profit year over year, it's not as serious as if you're in a for-profit entity. So that to me is just such a wonderful to be able to get away from the fact that this project, as an example, touches the hearts and souls of people in X generation, you know, just using an example, and it has changed their behaviors for the better by this percentage. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD (09:29.26) However, it wasn't a profitable program. That still might need to be scrutinized in the nonprofit world. However, what ends up happening is, okay, how do we look at gaining more grants, more individuals who can provide additional funds in some way? How do we partner with other entities to try to solve for some of the needs of this program? Because we see the benefit. of it moving our mission and vision forward. That to me is like the purpose of what business actually should be. Although I want to leave space for the entities that do otherwise. It's just as I get older, and it's not just about age, there's a whole swath of younger people who also identify this way. We want to feel value in the work that we do. We want to feel that it aligns with our purpose, even if it's not a complete alignment. It's just a partial alignment. That is fine, because we know it's hard, especially these days, to find that complete 100 % alignment, unless you build your own organization, which is always a viable thing for you to do as well. Sabine Kvenberg Mm-hmm. Sabine Kvenberg Absolutely. And that's why I work a lot with entrepreneurs who follow that calling, that passion, and that serving heart that they have to serve others. And I think there is a good, is always a good balance of the entrepreneurial spirits and individuals and those who work for a company. There's some people who are just more comfortable. They don't want their own company and that's okay too. But what they all want, what I've learned throughout my life, everybody wants to be valued. And those companies, for example, there are a few out there who have their employees participate in their shares or whatnot, so many different ways. So you feel, this is part of my company, I'm working for that. So I make a difference. And I truly believe. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Yes. Sabine Kvenberg that when more company would do that, actually they would be better off. Give a little bit more to your people and give them the feeling they contribute for a greater purpose for that matter and your company will flourish. But let's go to talk about your book. You wrote a book that said, I'm not dead yet. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Right. Sabine Kvenberg What inspired you to write that book? Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Yeah, so thanks for bringing it up. I come from, to take you all the way back and not to spend too much time, but I think it's very important to bring you to my childhood. I was brought up in a Jehovah's Witness household, which taught me from a very young age that being gay was wrong, bad, and that God, in this case, his name being Jehovah, as taught to me, would eliminate me and anyone just like me from the earth. when the great tribulation of Armageddon would come. Some of this might sound a little silly to some people, but it might resonate with others who happen to be religious. My point is not to knock religion here. I'm not here to say religion is bad, but I am here to acknowledge that that can affect people in a very negative way. What ends up happening, and this is a psychological principle as well as a personal. sort of principle that has occurred, you start to internalize those ideals, those belief systems, because it's all you know. And it truly can more than likely affect the trajectory of your life when you internalize hate, negativity, especially when it's in regard to who you are and your very being. So that's exactly what happened with me. Although as all of that was occurring to me, I had no idea why it was happening. At the age of 18 when I was able to leave my house, fly the coop so to speak, and do my own thing, it was only about six months later that I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in stage four, which for those who are not familiar with cancer, stage four is the final stage. Sabine Kvenberg you Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Almost immediately when I found out this information, I had attributed it to me being punished because that was what I was taught. You act out in a certain way. You're allowed to have these thoughts, but you're never allowed to act on them. And once you do, there will be a punishment for you. And that was my punishment. so, you know, fast forward to where I am today. The cancer came back a second time. And then when I was deemed a... about seven years later and all was said and done, you would think that that would be an indication for me to start flourishing and do all the things that would just constitute my well-being and increasing that as much as possible, but it wasn't. What ended up happening is I engaged in a deleterious cycle that was very, very harmful. And I started using drugs and alcohol and as you might imagine, just things became worse and worse in my decision making and the people that I surrounded myself with all kind of like solidified me getting closer and closer to death. And I started to get in trouble with the law. And once I started to realize why these things were happening, getting to the underlying sort of mechanisms and causal factors, And psychology was very helpful for me to understand those things. I had to square that away and I had to start undoing the harm that occurred. I also had to renegotiate the relationships that took place in my life. I had to square away my belief systems and who I was knowing that I had spent a good portion of my life trying to change myself, trying to avoid what was inevitable, which is me being a gay man, but also understanding that that's just one part of who I am and there so many other beautiful aspects of my personality. But in order for me to allow all of those aspects to shine completely, I had to fall in love with myself. I had to renegotiate, like I said, and re-understand what God is and was and what my relationship to that Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD being is, as well as my family and the people who had called me friends during the first 20, 30 years of my life. That is all what is encapsulated in that book, that memoir that I wrote, because one of the most horrific things that happened to me outside of being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma was actually going to prison. And that experience to me Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD On the one hand, I say to myself, well, it saved my life. It got me out from using drugs and alcohol. I had no choice but to sober up almost immediately. But that wasn't enough. That's not going to keep me away from drugs and alcohol and change me. What needed to happen was that internal sort of assessment and that longitudinal dedication. Sabine Kvenberg it, did that happen while you were in prison that you have all of a sudden the time to first of all, being away from, from drugs and alcohol and then having the time to really start thinking, what am I doing? Were you able to start studying? So what was that time? How long were you in prison? Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD I was sentenced for 16 months and I spent 14 months for good behavior. So yes, the answer is it definitely gave me the time and the space to contemplate, to think, to read, to study, to question. I wanna just make this a caveat here. It's like... I had to go through this journey, if you will, in order to become who I am today. But I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think it's the best way to go about becoming a better person. For me, right, right. So I don't advocate for prison for anyone. There are exceptions to everything. There are atrocities that take place that are so, sad that we even have to talk about it. Sabine Kvenberg No, everybody has their own path and that absolutely. You Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD That's a reality and I think that's a place where it makes sense to put someone in prison. But that's not the majority of people who are in prison, are not murderers, child molesters, but those are the things that we think about, the most horrific sort of atrocities that exist in the world. But there's a whole bunch of other types of people who engage in not so great behaviors like myself. And unfortunately, there isn't a route currently, or at least when I was going through this during 2010, 2011, that would help to rehabilitate persons like myself. It's more about the punishment than it is the rehabilitation. And that says a lot about our prison system and the way it operates. Now I know we can spend Sabine Kvenberg That's another, totally other topic. Yes, yes, yes. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD yeah, right. But, you know, I tried to make the best of it as I possibly could, which meant that not only did I need to make the determination, but I had to do the work. And the work took a lot longer than just 14 months. know, coming out of prison was very important for me to start to reintegrate myself into society and also understand what my sobriety was going to look like and how I was going to maintain that in the long haul. that all was touch and go, reading a lot. I decided to then get my doctorate after I came out. So, I mean, that was a huge sort of goal that I was able to accomplish, which I'm very proud of. But a lot of the things that I learned during that time I was applying in real time. So I finally became sober, completely sober in 2013, which was the same year that I enrolled in doctoral school. Sabine Kvenberg (20:53.526) But you know, that shows me also that, yeah, there are situations where people get into prison, right? But then there are also people, they go right back where they started. And then there are others like yourself who sees this is an opportunity for me to change my life. And don't let that Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Right. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Yes. Yes. Sabine Kvenberg past and that baggage hinder you to become your next greater self. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Absolutely, yes. And again, you don't need prison to show you that. I did. But what are the universal themes that can be extracted from my experiences so that other people can kind of learn from that and then adapt it as they wish? I love that. And that's part of the reason why I wrote this book is not everybody that reading it is going to be like, I know what prison life is like. No. Sabine Kvenberg Right. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD but there will be elements of that story that you'll be able to say, okay, I see what he's getting at here. It's the learning lessons that took place. Two major, sorry. Sabine Kvenberg So would you say that you wrote the book mainly for yourself to let this out, to write it? what was the inspiration? Or was it, I have to write it to help others to see ABC. What would that be? Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Yeah, yeah, it's both. Like, I have to be super honest with myself, right? Part of this healing process is about getting my story and writing it and putting it out there. There is a selfish aspect to it, although I don't see all selfish aspects to be that. Like, there are good aspects to being selfish. Like, taking care of yourself is a selfish act, so to speak, but it's also a really great thing to do. But balancing that out with the ability to assist and help people also is extremely important to me. In fact, I would say that's my primary reason for creating something like this, because think about it. I could just write something like this if I wanted to process it in real time, but never publish it or put it out there for other people. That's an additional step. In fact, there are psychological models that show that if you just take pen to paper and write something out. Like if you're really upset with somebody, maybe somebody at work said something really nasty to you and you don't feel like it's appropriate to confront them about that for whatever reasons, maybe it's the big boss, you write a letter. Write a letter and it never needs to be published or sent to anyone and that is a very helpful thing to do. So I've known this from the beginning. So the extra step to really help other people be exposed to your story. That's a scary thing. Sabine Kvenberg Yeah, it sure is. And especially with the story and the history that you had, but you're so right. And we hear that and I experienced it myself, writing things down and even having a journal. It is so super important. And even sometimes in work when you have so many things in your head and you get in so Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD yeah. Yes. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Yes. Sabine Kvenberg Confused so buck down with things just writing it out. Let it flow on paper It's it's very helpful. So I can totally see that but at the same time just by sharing your story You can help others and others can see hey, I'm not alone And that's why I have this podcast is to share other people's stories. So listeners can know hey, I'm not alone and whatever it is, I mean have Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Exactly. Sabine Kvenberg many different individuals, many different stories, many different experiences. But somehow we can pick a little bit from everybody who shares something because it's a universal experience that we have. And that's called life. We all have our demons. We all have our struggles that we need to go through. But in your case, you also show Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Absolutely. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Yes! Sabine Kvenberg that you can get out even out of one of the worst situations, overcoming a stage four cancer, getting clean from drug abuse and alcohol and getting out of prison. mean, there's like three big things. Usually somebody has maybe one, it's hard to get through. this is so fantastic. So if you could give like, Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Right. Sabine Kvenberg one piece of advice or one or two things that helped you through that process. So if a listener maybe struggles with one of these things or maybe all three, what piece of advice would you give them? Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Right. Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD my gosh, there's so many things. I'll see if I try to keep it as terse and succinct as possible. Yeah. I mean, if you, yeah, I mean, I think overall it is never too late. No matter how far or how deep down we feel we've gone. I think one of the things that starts to happen to people and Nietzsche had said this, but I won't get it exactly right. Sabine Kvenberg Of course, get your book, right? if you could... Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD Something along the lines of, when you look into the abyss long enough, you actually become the abyss. And that has resonated with me so deeply because it feels hopeless. And it's okay to feel hopeless, but please don't stay there too long. There is always hope. There's always a silver lining, even in the most desperate and horrific of situations. It is never too late. to change course, to become a better person. I'm living proof of that. Sabine Kvenberg That is a beautiful ending to this interview. You couldn't have said anything better. If someone wants to learn more about you or want to get your book, how can they do that? Joshua J. Caraballo, PsyD My website is probably the best place. It'll give you all of my social media handles, my email, and I would encourage you if you'd like to chat more to reach out. Also, details about the book can be found at drjosh.solutions. That's D-R-J-O-S-H dot solutions spelled just like the word. And that's in place of a dot com or dot org in case you're wondering, like, what's the last part of that? Sabine Kvenberg It's good to know. wonderful. And I make sure, of course, it will be in the show notes. Thank you so much for your time today and hopefully you can touch many more lives moving forward. Joshua J.

In our increasingly connected world, the importance of promoting a sense of community and fostering a creative environment in our workplaces cannot be overstated. Our surroundings can profoundly affect not only our productivity but also the connections we establish with each other. By channeling our understanding of the spaces around us, we can unlock the potential for innovation and collaboration, often hidden in plain sight.Today we welcome a special guest, Rebecca Swanner: a trailblazer in architectural engineering design. Rebecca is the Workplace Sector Leader for Harley Ellis Devereaux Corporation (HED), the firm that is redesigning the way we perceive and interact with office spaces. Her invaluable insights reveal how consciously designed spaces can foster not just productivity but also inclusion, energy, and levity, transforming our surroundings into a catalyst for clarity.Diverse Work Environments and their ImpactRebecca stresses the importance of acknowledging that people work differently in diverse environments. Some thrive amidst constant stimulation, while others need an environment that filters out as much external stimuli as possible, allowing them to concentrate solely on their tasks. A foundation of radical transparency and trust within the workplace is crucial for team members to feel comfortable in their work environments.Making Your Office a Home Away from Home With a shift toward activity-based design, giving employees a choice of where to work within a workspace is essential. Depending on their needs for the day or even the hour, they should be able to select an environment that best supports their current task. Designing specialized spaces ensures that each space is optimized for a specific type of work. Nurturing the Human Aspect in DesignOne of the key trends Rebecca discusses is creating neighborhoods within the workspace. By fostering a sense of community within each neighborhood, employees feel a sense of belonging and pride in their area. Personalizing the space further enhances this sense of ownership, giving employees a connection to their surroundings.Bringing Humanity to WorkplacesThinking about the workplace as a space to nurture the human mind opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. Incorporating soundscapes, pleasant scents, and elements that trigger positive memories can significantly impact an employee's mood and overall well-being. Space designed with elements of relaxation and comfort can help prevent burnout, fatigue, and keep employees engaged and inspired. Final ThoughtsRe-imagining workplaces through design is a compelling and innovative approach towards building more collaborative and nurturing work environments. By prioritizing employees' well-being and leveraging the potential of well-designed spaces, companies cannot only boost their bottom line but also foster a community of inspired, dedicated, and happy employees.

In this episode Better Leaders, Better Workplaces, host Vivian Blade is joined by Michael Davis, a principal with Mindshare Partners, to dig into the seemingly contradictory state of workplace mental health and the strategies to address it. If you're a business or HR leader seeking to create a better workplace, this episode is a must-listen. Get ready to learn how to elevate employee well-being, increase productivity, and foster a supportive work culture. Here are 3 key takeaways: 1. Shift from an individual-centric approach to a collective responsibility: Organizations that prioritize employee mental health understand that it's not about providing benefits and expecting individuals to solely manage their well-being. It's about fostering a culture where mental health is a shared priority, and the entire ecosystem supports employee well-being. 2. Mental health is a culture strategy, not just a benefit strategy: Initiatives focused on mental health shouldn't be confined to offering benefits and resources. True impact comes from embedding mental health considerations into the fabric of an organization's culture. It should be approached as a strategic imperative requiring investment, measurement, governance, and involvement of all stakeholders. 3. Focus on creating a culture of safety and support: According to Mindshare Partners' 2023 Mental Health at Work Report, employees value a work environment that fosters a culture of safety and support more than benefits or therapy. To elevate employee well-being, organizations need to measure employee experiences, upskill their workforce, and implement a holistic mental health strategy.
