Psychologically Healthy Organisations

 
 
 

A psychologically healthy organisation (PHO) strategy is a fantastic way to optimise engagement and performance in your organisation. You can expect numerous positive outcomes, including a substantial financial return. Deloitte (2020) estimated a 5-fold return on investment from a competently designed and delivered PHO programme.

We support teams and organisations to maximise performance and wellbeing through our Psychologically Healthy Organisations model which comprises four elements:

  • Safety & Wellbeing

  • Work Life Integration

  • Culture & Relationships

  • Learning & Progress

Our approach to building a PHO involves work in four domains:

  • Purposeful Work: We support teams in seeing their work as a collective learning exercise that leads to high performance.

  • Optimise Workplace: We advise organisations how to configure their workplaces to maximise performance and wellbeing.

  • Build Collaborative Teams: We show group members how to work collectively, exploiting talent to achieve meaningful outcomes.

  • Nurture the Individual: We advise how teams can best support a diverse group of people who flourish at work.

This model is the foundation of our approach to diagnosing and solving performance and wellbeing issues. We provide all the necessary skills and expertise to foster psychologically healthy organisations via psychological science.
