Toxic by Design: How AI Surfaces the Risks Organisations Would Rather Not Name

We tend to treat toxic workplaces as accidents. Jody, founder of Gentia, argues they are closer to design, and that the psychosocial hazards doing the most damage are the ones organisations are least willing to name.

In this episode we talk about what psychosocial hazards actually are, from crushing workloads and bullying to poor leadership and the slow loss of autonomy, and why they so rarely show up in standard engagement data. Jodie shares what she learned across more than a decade in workplace wellbeing, how helping build one of Australia's largest early education providers shaped her understanding of who pays the price for bad culture, and how Gentia uses AI to make hidden risk measurable, and therefore actionable.

A conversation about leadership, accountability, and the difference between saying you care about wellbeing and being willing to look at the evidence.
