Psychosocial Consultations & Assessment
In recent times we have grown our understanding of psychological strain and stress at work, with an ever-growing body of knowledge and research on the impact that our workplaces, work rules, work design, environment, collaboration, communication, and leadership behaviour, can and do have on our physical and mental health.
Accompanying this in Australia (and increasingly in other jurisdictions around the world) are somewhat new employment law obligations that expand our responsibilities, giving us just as much responsibility (positive duty) over our team's psychosocial safety just as much as their physical safety. While some differences between state jurisdictions in the exact details and mechanisms, every business owner and responsible officer of any undertaking in Australia is now obligated to integrate and conduct risk assessments, including a structured employee and team member consultation, and in some cases more detailed evidence and documentation.
eyeYou's Psychosocial Consultations provide you with an easy to read and use roadmap of your psychosocial hazards, risks, and pockets of strength and resilience. More than a simple list of negative findings to 'address', a consultation report will guide the development and focus - and be included as a component of - a rigorous Risk Assessment process
