New Products
The Health and Safety Index recently launched two new products, enabling organisations to better measure, focus and act on mental health and wellbeing improvements that matter!
These two new diagnostics (Dx) survey products are:
- Wellbeing Dx
- Psychosocial Dx
The development of new surveys are carefully designed based on international standard ISO 45003: International standard for managing psychosocial risk at work and regulatory codes of practices. ISO 45003 defines well-being at work as follows…
“fulfilment of the physical, mental and cognitive needs and expectations of a worker related to their work” 1,2
- Well-being at work can also contribute to the quality of life outside of work.
- Well-being at work relates to all aspects of working life, including work organisation, social factors at work, work environment, equipment, and hazardous tasks.

Psychosocial Risk
Can a survey be used to replace a psychosocial risk assessment?
Truly understanding your organisation psychosocial risk exposures and impacts can often be difficult. Using surveys can be a scalable, confidential, and reliable way to understand how your workforce is feeling, their perceptions and innovative ideas to improve.
Surveys alone often do not give you a complete picture of risk strategic and operational psychosocial risk factors in the workplace, e.g.
- Process and system
- Plant and equipment
- Working environment
- Design or management of work
- Interactions, cultures, values, and observable behaviours.
Combining surveys with other interventions can be a powerful way to demonstrate legal duties and make effective strategic choices. At a minimum this should include the evaluation of Job Demands, Job Resource and Work Outcomes. Examples of interventions that are often used in conjunction with surveys include:
- Broader maturity assessments
- Psychosocial risk assessments
- Strategy workshops
- Leadership training
- Focus Groups
- Coaching.
