A small business I presented to 20 months ago? Around 75% of those staff have since left. I also looked at what Victoria's new Psychological Health Regulations (December 2025) actually mean for employers because this is no longer just a values conversation. It's a legal one. But the part I want to hear your take on is this: do skills like emotional intelligence, conflict management, or psychological safety sit within your organisation's performance standards or are they invisible? Check the Blog here: https://open.substack.com/pub/danhallsco/p/the-real-cost-of-not-investing-in?r=7uinwa&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web I've left a question at the bottom of the post. Jump in there or drop your answer here What's one human skill you wish your workplace invested more in developing?

They tell me the sessions I run would be valuable for their team. Genuinely. And then: "We just don't have the budget for it." I haven't told them the price yet. I've been sitting with this for a while, and I wrote about it this week. Because I think it reveals something interesting about how organisations think about people — specifically the gap between saying something has value and actually funding it. In Part 1 of this Blog I explore: • Why "no budget" often isn't the real answer • How ad hoc crises somehow find funding but prevention doesn't • Whether skills without KPIs are being undervalued • What made your best leader great and how much of it was "the human stuff" Drop your thoughts below: What's your experience been? Have you ever tried to push for professional development in your workplace and hit a wall? I'd love to hear it.

What do you need, let me know... I will make you huge!
