Discovery activities can be a starting point or a diagnostic to inform a strategy refresh, assess compliance with legal requirements or map organisational activities against recognised frameworks. We work with organisations to identify their strengths and development areas and develop recommendations to improve health and wellbeing at work.
Audit and gap analysis
This helps organisations to identify where to start, or where to improve, their employee health and wellbeing provision. It will identify strengths and development areas in managing psychosocial risk and supporting employee wellbeing.
Evidence is taken from organisational data, policies, practices and processes as well as through interviews with stakeholders and staff. Organisations can be assessed against best practice and/or frameworks such as ISO45003 and HSE Management Standards for Work Stress, the Mental Health at Work Commitment, and local or sector-specific frameworks.
Recommendations can be followed by action planning workshops to facilitate a commitment to change and develop and the co-design of interventions to improve health and wellbeing.
Psychosocial risk assessment
A psychosocial risk assessment enables organisations to create a baseline statistics for mental health, to understand the groups most at risk, explore the linkages between job characteristics and wellbeing and identify those factors at work that have the most impact on wellbeing.
The assessments are developed following a process of familiarisation and are fully tailored to the organisation. This may include interviews, focus groups and/or surveys. Our surveys include demographics, questions about how the employee experiences work and the factors impacting upon mental health, and the outcomes of wellbeing.
Recommendations in the final report can be followed by action planning workshops with senior management, stakeholders and teams to ensure that commitment to action and championing of issues. Evaluation through regular monthly check-ins and an administration of a second survey will embed change.
Organisational research
We work with policy makers, professional bodies, universities and research institutions and organisations to conduct pioneering research across the field of health and wellbeing.
We combine traditional approaches to gathering data with novel techniques and data analytics and are recognised for our expertise in translating research findings into practical solutions including training tools and guidance to promote health and wellbeing in the workplace.
