Before you start

Why it matters, how it works and what you get

A two-minute read that makes your check far more useful.

Why

People can't do their best work when the job wears them down.

  • Perks alone don't fix it. In a study of 46,336 workers, mindfulness apps, resilience training and similar programs showed no measurable benefit on their own.
  • The work itself does. Workload, role clarity, leadership and fairness are what drive wellbeing and performance.
  • It's also the law. Australian employers must manage psychosocial hazards, like excessive workload and bullying, as a WHS duty.
How

12 strands. A score of 1 to 5 for each. About 5 minutes.

  1. Go through the 12 strands one at a time. Each strand is one area of your workplace, like workload or leadership.
  2. Pick the score that matches what really happens day to day, not what the policy says.
  3. Not sure? Every strand has a short guide showing what good looks like.
  4. Watch your web build. Once all 12 are scored, your results appear.
What

A clear picture of your workplace and a plan for where to start.

  • Your web: all 12 strands on one picture
  • Your pattern and the 3 strands to fix first
  • Practical fixes: do's, don'ts and systems for every strand
  • Your results by email, so you can come back to them or share them with your team
  • Free help if you want it: send your results to us for a no-obligation chat

What the scores mean

You'll use this same scale for every strand. A 3 means the basics and legal minimums are covered. 4 and 5 are where peak performance lives.

Be honest. The check only helps if you score what really happens. Nobody sees your answers unless you choose to send them to us.
