Workplace Assessments

Initial Assessment and Planning

Map out how your organisation is structured — such as departments, teams or job roles. This ensures results are meaningful and actionable at the right levels.
Employees can access COPSOQ through a secure online platform or paper forms. All responses are anonymous to protect confidentiality and build trust in the process.
Clear communication is critical. Schedules, messages and information sheets help managers and employee reps explain the purpose, timing and value of the survey.
The survey typically stays open for 3–4 weeks. Reminders encourage participation and ensure a reliable response rate.

Ensure anonymity by only reporting on groups of 5 or more. Data can be presented at both the whole-organisation and team/unit levels, so you can see the big picture while also understanding local differences.
Results are compared with Australian reference values. This highlights areas where your workplace is performing strongly, as well as where psychosocial risks may be elevated.
Visual summaries, group-level comparisons and recommendations for action. Reports should be accessible for leadership teams, employee representatives, and staff alike.
Assess the need for action and support the decision making process on preventive measures
