Psychosocial Workplace Approach
The psychosocial workplace is inherently complex. Work factors are interrelated, meaning they influence one another. Most can be either beneficial or harmful, and exposure, especially to social factors, tends to be highly variable. Additionally, how employees experience work factors are individually shaped by personal circumstances, histories, and characteristics. A rigorous approach to psychosocial risk management considering these elements is required.
Sophisticated Understanding
Given its complexity, it’s critical to achieve a sophisticated understanding of the psychosocial workplace via a rigorous psychosocial risk assessment tool suitable for the requirements of next generation psychosocial risk assessment. This supports accurate prioritisation of control measures most likely to efficiently reduce harm, amplify benefits, and ensure best return on investment. Sophisticated understanding includes assessment of:
- Work factor harms and benefits where relevant
- How the range of harms and benefits are distributed
- The psychosocial system’s cumulative harm and protective nature
- Factors most powerfully shaping the broader system
- The individual variations within groups common to psychosocial workplaces
