Understand your psychosocial risks and develop a defensible strategy to reduce and manage them effectively

Assess and manage psychosocial risks at work

Truly addressing psychosocial risks requires shifts in behaviours, analysis of work design, new leadership capabilities and a more nuanced approach that can’t be captured in a simple survey.

The basics

You’ve likely already got these covered:
  • Assemble a compliance team
  • Review policies
  • Establish a procedure for reporting psychosocial risks
  • Set up a risk register

Activate your risk strategy

We help you shift behaviours and build capabilities:
  • Build a culture of psychological safety
  • Upskill managers and leaders to feel confidence in having conversations to elicit more information when a risk is raised
  • Redesign work where reasonably practicable
  • Build the capabilities of WHS/HR professionals as an internal escalation point for assessing workplace psychosocial risk

From risk identification to practical action

Psychosocial risk in people processes

Psychosocial risk can arise not only from the work people do, but from the workplace processes they experience. Performance management, investigations, organisational change, restructure, conflict and return to work are necessary processes, but they can also heighten psychosocial risk. 

Organisations need to consider these processes through a psychosocial risk lens. This means identifying where risk may arise, strengthening the way processes are designed and managed, building leader capability and ensuring appropriate support and escalation pathways are available when risk increases. 

CFCH works with organisations to review high-risk people processes, strengthen frameworks and controls, uplift leader capability and embed psychological support where it is most likely to be needed.
