Women at Work
About Women at Work
Women at Work is a workplace-focused initiative led by Michelle Boundy, centered on improving psychological safety, respectful workplace culture, and WHS (workplace) outcomes. As part of this work, Michelle actively meets with Ministers and Commissioners to address the issues women face in the workplace and champions the outstanding efforts underway in the Government to enhance the lives of women and strengthen their ability to thrive in Australian workplaces. It was created to address a critical gap in how workplaces understand and respond to:
⭐Psychological Risk
⭐Workplace culture and behaviour
⭐Gendered workplace challenges
⭐Leadership accountability
⭐Safety beyond compliance
Today, it operates as a high-level advisory and education platform supporting organisations to build safer, more respectful and higher performing workplaces
Our Focus
We work at the intersections of:
⭐Workplace health and safety (WHS)
⭐Psychological culture
⭐Leadership capability
⭐Respectful workplace behaviour
Our work is grounded in the belief that: Safe workplaces are not defined by policy; they are defined by culture, leadership, and daily behaviour.
The Workplace Challenge
Across industries, we continue to see:
⭐Increasing psychological hazards
⭐Poorly managed workplace behaviours
⭐Culture issues impacting retention and performance
⭐Gendered barriers in leadership and progression
⭐Growing complexity in workplace risk, including technology- facilitated harm
These are not isolated issues. They are systemic workplace risks that require informed leadership and practical action.
What We Do
Consultation (Corporate Sector)
We provide high-level consultation to organisations seeking to improve:
⭐Psychological safety and WHS compliance maturity
⭐Workplace culture and behavioral standards
⭐Leadership capacity in managing people risk
⭐Early intervention approaches to workplace issues
⭐Respectful workplace frameworks and implementation
This is practical, evidence-informed, and tailored to organisational context.
Speaking and Presenting
We deliver high-impact keynote presentations and workplace education sessions on:
⭐Psychological safety and WHS (Workplace)
⭐Workplace culture and leadership accountability
⭐Respectful workplaces and behaviour risk
⭐Gender, safety, and inclusion in the workplace
⭐Emerging workplace risk, including technology-facilitated abuse.
These sessions are designed to challenge thinking, build awareness, and drive action.
Our Collaborations
We engage with high-level collaborations with:
⭐Government agencies
⭐Regulatory and policy bodies
⭐Industry unions and representative organizations
This work is focused on:
⭐System-level workplace reforms
⭐Policy alignment with lived workplace reality
⭐Psychological safety and WHS (workplace) frameworks
⭐Culture and behavioural change at scale.
Our Approach
Our work is
⭐ Evidence-based and informed
⭐Practical and grounded in real workplaces
⭐Focused on leadership responsibility
⭐Aligned to WHS (Workplace) obligations
⭐Centered on psychological safety and respect
We do not separate culture from safety. Because in modern workplaces - they are the same thing.
The Vision
We believe workplaces should be:
⭐Safe for every person
⭐Clear in expectations of behaviour
⭐Strong in leadership accountability
⭐Supportive of psychological well-being
⭐Built on respect, trust, and dignity
Because when people are safe at work, they perform better, stay longer, and thrive.
