Psychological risk reduction for an education provider

The Challenge:

The Risk Collective team was engaged to work with an education provider to help them address high rates of workplace stress that had resulted in a series of compensation claims.

The Solution:

Working collaboratively with external researchers and consultants, the Risk Collective analysed potential causes of stress within the unique context of this environment and group of employees. Considering the specific risk profile of this organisation, the Risk Collective team then:

• Consulted with various departments within the organisation, running sessions to identify their specific issues

• Developed insurer approved programs to reduce the risk of psychological injury

• Co-created action plans to implement these programs

The Result:

Supported employees to develop a deeper understanding of psychosocial hazards, created awareness of the importance of reducing the risk of psychosocial injury occurring and facilitated sharing of best practice OHS standards across departments.
