Job design

Workload demands

Leadership style

Recognition and reward

Working conditions

Frequently asked questions

What is a psychosocial hazard?

It’s an aspect of work that can affect people’s psychological health – for example job design, workload demands, leadership style, recognition and reward practices, or working conditions. Managed well, these factors help people thrive; managed poorly, they can harm wellbeing and performance.

What is ISO 45003?

ISO 45003:2021 is the first internationally recognised guidance on managing psychological health and safety at work, focusing on managing psychosocial risks.

Do we have to be working towards ISO 45003?

No. We can help you optimise your current approach to psychosocial risk, or support you all the way to implementing ISO 45003. If you demonstrate effective application of the guidance, you’ll receive a British Safety Council certificate.

What type of assessment will we need?

We agree this with you in an initial scoping session, based on your current needs, your approach to stress management and your organisational context. You can choose a desktop review with your steering team, or a full ISO 45003 assessment with input from wider staff and stakeholders.

What happens after the assessment?

Our experts run a workshop on the findings, outline priority areas and agree an action plan with you. We then provide tailored solutions to deliver your roadmap – from strategy, policy and training to employee engagement, data insight and support frameworks.
