What our clients say
After running the psychosocial risk survey, we uncovered issues in job clarity and workload that we hadn’t being paying attention to. We worked with Michael and the team to develop an action plan which has helped us mitigate risks and build organisational resilience – Chief Executive Officer, Health Sector – Melbourne.
Our health and wellbeing committee took the lead with this initiative and met with Michael to discuss the approach. Conducting a psychosocial risk assessment gave us the real data on issues we had suspected. We used the insights to reduced stress-related absenteeism by 40%. – General Manager, Manufacturing Sector – Sydney.
The company has a lot of staff who work remotely or hybrid work arrangements. We wanted to be proactive about managing psychosocial risks in our business. The survey was quick to implement, and the action plan gave us a clear roadmap to a safer, more supportive workplace – Office Manager, Professional Services – Brisbane.
