Psychosocial risk assessment and training, tailored to your industry and your organisation

We measure psychosocial risk in your workforce, then train your people on what the measurement actually found. Not a generic wellbeing module. Your data, your sector, your risk profile.

What sits underneath it

Built on the workplace psychology model that has held up longest

Four decades of international workplace psychology keep returning to the same balance: what the work demands of a person, against the resources that person has to meet those demands. Where demands run high and resources run thin, you get burnout, absence, turnover and psychological injury. Where resources hold, you get engagement and performance even under genuine pressure.

That balance is not the same in every workplace. In a gas plant it lives in rosters, isolation and fatigue. In a disability service it lives in occupational violence, emotional load and lone work. In a professional agency it lives in workload, client behaviour and role ambiguity.

So we do not hand you a standard survey and a standard workshop. We measure the balance in your setting, in your workforce's own language, and design the training around what the measurement returns.

The seven domains we measure

  • Job demands, workload and work pace
  • Role clarity, control and job security
  • Support from leaders, supervisors and peers
  • Recognition, reward and organisational justice
  • Exposure to conflict, aggression and occupational violence
  • Traumatic content and emotionally demanding work
  • Physical environment, isolation and remote or lone work
How it runs

A five step cycle you can show a regulator

01

Scoping and configuration

A structured intake with your leadership: sites, roster patterns, workforce composition, incident and claims history, current controls, and the leave and turnover you are already paying for. Your return on investment tool is configured to these numbers.

02

Measurement

Employees complete a short, confidential survey across the seven psychosocial domains, written for your industry. It takes minutes, not an afternoon, which is why people actually finish it.

03

Clinical interpretation

A practitioner reads the result, not a dashboard. You receive a written analysis that says where strain concentrates, which teams and roles carry it, what is driving it, and which controls are likely to move it.

04

Targeted training and controls

Training is then built on your findings and delivered to the groups that need it: leaders, supervisors, frontline teams. Practical, plain language, and matched to the hazards your own data surfaced.

05

Review and re measure

Every six months the plan is adjusted; every three months the workforce is surveyed again. Each cycle is dated and documented, which is what turns a wellbeing activity into a defensible risk management record.

Why the cadence matters. A single point in time survey tells you how a workforce felt in one week. A repeated cycle tells you whether what you did about it worked. The second thing is what a regulator, an insurer and a board all actually want to see.
What you receive

Four things, every cycle

A longitudinal dataset

Quarterly measurement against the domains that matter for your specific workforce, building a clearer pattern the longer it runs.

A tailored return on investment tool

An Excel model configured to your organisation at intake. Reads return against the leave and turnover you already pay for.

A documented compliance record

Dated evidence of a proactive, reviewed psychosocial safety cycle: the strongest position to be in if a claim or audit arrives.

Training that follows the data

Focus shifts every six months as the evidence shows where strain actually concentrates. Built around your context, not ours.

The cadence

Every 3 months, a short survey. Every 6 months, an adjustment to the plan and the training focus. Think of the check in like the prompt to update your password: brief, routine, and the thing that keeps the system current.

$67,400

The cost we sit beside

The Safe Work Australia median compensation cost of a single psychological injury claim, with a median 35.7 weeks lost per claim, nearly five times other injuries. This is the budget line the program is read against, not your wellbeing line.
