Most managers were never taught how to talk to someone who's overloaded, struggling, or shutting down — so they avoid it, or get it wrong under pressure. Real Talk lets you practise the conversation safely, get honest feedback, and build a record that your organisation is managing psychosocial risk.
Step into a realistic conversation with a team member who's not okay. Every choice you make changes how much they open up — just like real life.
A debrief scored against psychological-safety principles — what you did well, what shut the conversation down, and the exact line to try instead.
Conversations quietly roll up into a hazard register and training record — the defensible proof leaders need that psychosocial risk is being managed.
Australian WHS law now requires PCBUs to manage psychosocial hazards — but the duty is discharged (or breached) in everyday manager conversations. Real Talk is where those conversations get practised and recorded.
Pick a situation to rehearse. You'll make real choices, see how the other person responds, and get a psychosafety debrief at the end.
Based on this conversation, Real Talk flagged the hazards below. In the full product you'd confirm before anything is logged — then it becomes evidence your organisation is meeting its duty to identify, assess, control and review psychosocial risk.
Where psychosocial risk is actually showing up — straight from real manager conversations, not an annual survey.
Blended from conversation frequency, hazard mix & follow-through.
Every surfaced hazard and the action taken — timestamped, attributable, and ready for a regulator or an ISO 45003 audit.
| Date | Manager | Hazard | Control / action | Status |

Illustrative data for this prototype. In production, individual conversation content stays private to the manager — only the hazard type, control and status roll up.
