PsychSat™
Psychological Health & Safety Audit Tool
Improve HR Outcomes and Reduce Costs
Workplace Psychological Health and Safety (WPHS) is essential to an organization’s long-term success. Psychological well-being is linked to enhanced worker performance, higher levels of productivity, and can dramatically improve an organization’s retention and recruitment outcomes.
The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) has identified 13 psychosocial factors that significantly influence employee psychological well-being. Using this framework, Mission Research has developed the Workplace Psychological Health and Safety Audit Tool (PsychSat™), an innovative methodology for evaluating and monitoring employees’ psychological wellbeing.
PsychSat™ enables organizations to track outcomes of policies, programs and interventions aimed at enhancing workplace psychological wellness, which can then be linked to critical human resources metrics, including:
- Work performance and productivity
- Work absences
- Retention and/or turnover rates
- Recruitment rates
PsychSat™ is a customized monitoring system designed to address the full spectrum of human resources needs at your organization, driving both excellence and sustainability.
Our easy-to-use interactive dashboard provides organizations with real-time updates on workforce psychological wellness, highlighting trends in response to specific policies, programs, or critical unexpected events such as economic downturns, organizational restructuring, or major safety incidents.
Data updates can be scheduled monthly, quarterly, annually or on an ad hoc basis, providing your human resources team with the evidence needed to make informed decisions.
