Tools and templates to help you navigate psychosocial risk management
Sonder's free-to-download tools and templates will help you identify, assess, and effectively control psychosocial risks. Use them to support your four-step process, and take proactive steps to support your employees' psychological wellbeing.
Step one: Identify hazards
The first step in the risk management process is to identify psychosocial hazards. Our list of definitions and survey questions will help you identify the aspects of work and situations that could cause harm.
Step two: Assess risks
Once you have identified psychosocial hazards in your workplace, our risk matrix template will help you assess the risks they create. This will help you determine what is reasonably practicable in managing the risks.
Step three: Control risks
Once you know which psychosocial hazards are present and you have assessed the risks they create, you are in a position to control them. Try our control suggestion tool and examples to get you started.
Step four: Review control measures
If a control measure is not working effectively, it must be reviewed and modified or replaced. Our effectiveness matrix and question template will help you determine what's working - and what should be modified.
"The legal risk in this area is high. It's essential that organisations are actively considering the effectiveness of controls and are taking action if initiatives aren't working. The main thing I would encourage people to do is take action, even imperfect action. The regulator will be much more impressed with that than an organisation that has done nothing on a particular issue."
