ERGOMIND 2026: Seminar Ergonomik dan Kesihatan Mental di Tempat Kerja (UPSI)

I’m pleased to share that I will be speaking at ERGOMIND 2026: Seminar Ergonomik dan Kesihatan Mental di Tempat Kerja, organised by Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI).

My session will take place on 21 October 2026, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., on the topic:

“Psychosocial Risk Assessment and an Integrated Bio-Neurofeedback Approach to Managing Workplace Stress and Burnout.”

Workplace stress and burnout are often treated as individual issues—something employees are expected to manage through better coping skills or greater resilience.

However, burnout may also reflect wider workplace factors such as excessive workload, limited job control, unclear roles, interpersonal conflict, insufficient organisational support, and an unhealthy psychosocial climate.

During this session, I will explore how psychosocial risk assessment can help organisations identify these contributing factors more systematically. I will also share how biofeedback and neurofeedback perspectives may provide additional insight into how prolonged stress affects physiological and neurological regulation.

My hope is to encourage a more integrated approach—one that combines organisational prevention, early identification, individual regulation, and sustainable workplace support.

I look forward to exchanging perspectives with professionals from occupational safety and health, ergonomics, psychology, mental health, and organisational development.

From your experience, which workplace factor contributes most strongly to employee stress and burnout?

📅 21 October 2026

Psychosocial Trained Person (PTP) Malaysia: PRISMA Workplace Psychosocial Risk Assessment Explained @ AiFM Radio Station

 

I recently had the opportunity to share my thoughts on RTM AiFM radio station on the topic of workplace mental health and psychosocial risk from an Industrial and Organizational Psychology perspective.

During the interview, I discussed the growing importance of psychosocial risk assessment in organisations, particularly in light of Malaysia’s PRisMA (Psychosocial Risk Assessment and Management at the Workplace) Guidelines 2024 introduced by DOSH.

As a DOSH-certified Psychosocial Trained Person (PTP), I also shared insights from my work supporting organisations in identifying and managing psychosocial risks, including key factors such as job demand, job control, and job support, and how these workplace conditions influence employee well-being, engagement, productivity, and burnout prevention. The conversation highlighted how organisations can build healthier and more sustainable workplaces by strengthening psychosocial safety climate (PSC) and organisational support systems.

I also shared another perspective on reframing this psychosocial risk assessment guideline as a training needs analysis approach, rather than viewing it solely as a way to fulfil legislative requirements. This perspective helps organisations identify their psychosocial risk areas and develop tailor-made interventions and training programmes that address their specific needs.

I strongly resonate with the Persatuan Psikologi Malaysia (PSIMA) movement in advocating that psychology should not remain confined to clinical settings, but should also extend its impact to the public health and workplace sectors, where it can contribute meaningfully to the well-being of society.
