From 1 April 2023, obligated businesses will be required to demonstrate a psychosocial risk management process.
Using world-first research by the University of South Australia, the Healthy Workplaces by Design program is an enterprise-wide risk audit and data-driven intervention process that works.
Identify the root causes of bullying
Go beyond top line triggers into psychosocial hazards
Adhere to your new work health and safety obligations
Proactively mitigate psychosocial hazards and bullying risk
SPEAK TO OUR TEAMBullying is only seen as an interpersonal problem, where the emphasis is on dealing with the fallout of bullying behaviour. Significant time and effort is spent on investigating bullying, education, training and support.
We tackle the root causes of bullying before it becomes a problem, by identifying and mitigating their risks. This approach has already been successful across food retailing, health, government and more.

1. Preparation
We build awareness and readiness for the program.
2. Diagnosis
Let's identify the organisational conditions to focus on.
3. Solutions
Co-design strategies to make changes in the focal areas.
4. Implementation
Create and implement the action plan.
5. Evaluation
It's time to measure the success of the changes made.
We spend time understanding the root causes of psychosocial risk at a systems level. This helps create the best solution for your organisation.
Because staff, team leaders, and managers are all involved in the creation of our solutions, changes are more likely to be accepted.
Each team receives a unique diagnostic profile of their areas of risk. This resonates and motivates staff towards ongoing action.
