Moral injury can be difficult to recognise because it may not look like a traditional workplace stress issue. Employees may continue performing their roles while carrying unresolved frustration, guilt, or discomfort about decisions or experiences.
When organisations understand moral injury, they are better placed to support constructive conversations around values, expectations, and difficult decisions. This course gives participants a framework for making sense of these experiences and responding in a way that supports long-term wellbeing.
This course is suitable for:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Sometimes the hardest workplace experiences are not about workload or pressure. They happen when people feel they are being asked to act in ways that conflict with what they believe is right. Moral Injury in the Workplace can develop when there is a gap between personal values and what an employee is able, expected, or required to do.
Moral injury can arise when workplace decisions, policies, or difficult situations challenge a person’s values. Over time, this can contribute to feelings such as frustration, guilt, anger, or helplessness. These reactions can stay with people long after the original situation has passed, particularly when they feel they had limited control over the outcome.
This course helps participants understand what moral injury is, how it differs from stress and burnout, and why it can develop in workplace settings. The focus is on recognising what is within an individual’s control, challenging unhelpful thinking, and developing practical ways to respond more constructively when difficult situations arise.
Duration: Available as a half-day or full-day course.
Delivery: The program can be delivered in person at your organisation or preferred venue, or virtually.
Recommended Group Size: 4 to 10 participants.
Resources: Participants receive a certificate of completion and access to a free follow-up refresher course with the original trainer.
The aim of this course is not to suggest that every difficult workplace decision can be avoided. Instead, it gives participants practical tools to understand their reactions, recognise where they have influence, and respond more constructively when values and workplace realities collide.
By building greater awareness and better coping strategies, employees can protect their wellbeing while continuing to navigate difficult professional situations with greater clarity and confidence.
