Do You Know Your Psychological Safety Climate Benchmark?

With the cost of workplace mental health disorders and rising stress claims, governments around the world are focusing on ways to address this issue. Australian organisations are now required to include psychological risk as part of their health and safety regimes and measuring your psychological safety climate (PSC) can help.

In this article, we distil the key findings of research conducted in Australia on 1,000 staff to establish benchmark levels of PSC which can determine the risk of job strain and depression. The paper provides a range of low-risk and high-risk predictors that could be used to guide your organisation in supporting employee mental health.
