The pressures we’re seeing in today’s workplaces aren’t mysterious or sudden, they’re the downstream effects of decades of design decisions that treated human limits as inefficiencies. When we removed buffers, blurred boundaries, and dissolved role clarity, we thought we accelerate work; but in reality, we rewired the conditions people rely on to stay healthy. This article traces how the modern workplace slowly shifted from managing visible physical hazards to embedding invisible psychosocial risks directly into its operating model. The result is a system optimised for output, not for human capacity. If organisations want different outcomes, they must redesign the system itself, not coach individuals to cope with environments that were never built for sustained wellbeing. Read the article and see how we can structurally correct the system to make work safe again. #PsychosocialSafety #Leadership #HR #WorkplaceWellbeing #WHS

Absolutely right, we can’t fix burnout by asking people to “cope” with a system that’s working against
