organisations say about the People at Work psychosocial risk assessment process, from WorkSafe Queensland. “The People at Work survey was
implemented to help assess psychosocial hazards in the workplace. Back came the
results. It highlighted three areas for potential improvement. And they related to time pressures, the emotional demands of
the job, and also team conflict within the organisation. So
one of the key things that came out of that 360 feedback, was to restructure
the organisation, and in such a way that Ian didn't have so many people
reporting to him. That in itself, created more of team work, a cohesiveness
that everyone was part of the overall team. Burstows introduced initiatives to help their
staff manage the emotional demands of the job."I might be with a very emotional family at the
time, but then I can go with my colleagues and we can just really debrief with
each other. You know, you've got the best atmosphere around the place.It's
a case of allowing them time to literally have time, go outside for a walk, you
know just have quiet time, go away for an hour, come back and that in itself
repairs them."12 months later, Burstows underwent, and
completed the same survey, those key factors that were identified in the first
survey around time pressures, emotional stress, and conflict, were virtually non-existent. We ended up with a longer term staff. There
was less turnover. A happier, better, closer team.
The
changes have been observable, you can see it in people's performance, you can
see it in people's camaraderie, marked respect for each other.”
