Our Approach to HR and Safety
At Pillar, we understand that human resources and health and safety are deeply interconnected processes. Our strong focus on psychosocial safety management ensures that we address mental health and well-being as integral components of our HR and safety strategies. By closely managing these processes, we effectively fill gaps in the system and provide comprehensive coverage for all your organisational needs.

Our expertise in psychosocial safety management translates into creating a supportive and safe work environment, enhancing overall employee well-being and productivity.

Understanding Psychosocial Hazards in the Workplace
Psychosocial hazards are elements of the work environment that can impact employees’ mental health and well-being. These hazards can arise from the way work is designed, organised, and managed, social factors as well as from work environment, hazardous tasks and equipment. Addressing these hazards is crucial for creating a supportive and productive work environment. At Pillar Consulting, we integrate psychosocial safety management into our HR and safety strategies to ensure comprehensive protection for your team.
High job demands, low job control, and poor support are significant psychosocial hazards that can affect employees’ mental health. Excessive workloads, limited autonomy, and lack of support from supervisors and colleagues can lead to stress and burnout. Additionally, poor work relationships, role ambiguity, and role conflict can create a toxic work environment, further impacting employee well-being.
Other critical hazards include poor organisational change management, low recognition and reward, and poor environmental conditions. Inadequate communication during changes, lack of acknowledgment for contributions, and unsafe physical environments can all contribute to a negative workplace atmosphere. Job insecurity, poor work-life balance, and exposure to traumatic events are also key factors that can affect employees’ mental health and overall job satisfaction.
Talent Acquisition and Retention Strategies
Hiring the right staff is crucial to your business’s success. However, due to Australian Employment Law, hiring the wrong person can be costly. This makes it essential to get it right the first time. At Pillar Consulting, we understand the complexities of talent acquisition and retention, and we can assist your organisation in developing effective strategies to attract and retain top talent.
We believe in the value of people within an organisation, and our people-centric approach allows us to deliver quality service consistently. By leveraging advanced assessment tools, we help you identify the best fit for your team and create an environment where employees can thrive and contribute to your business’s success.
Psychosocial Safety and Compliance with Australian Legislation
In addition to our focus on talent acquisition, we prioritise psychosocial safety management to ensure a healthy and supportive workplace. Psychosocial safety involves creating an environment where employees feel safe expressing themselves, taking risks, and admitting mistakes without fear of retribution. This approach enhances employee well-being and boosts innovation, collaboration, and productivity.
Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws now include regulations on managing psychosocial hazards. These laws require organisations to take reasonable steps to prevent psychological harm in the workplace. At Pillar Consulting, we help you comply with these regulations by integrating psychosocial safety into your HR and safety strategies, ensuring a comprehensive approach to workplace health and safety.
Overall, our commitment to psychosocial safety and compliance with Australian legislation helps create an efficient organisational culture, making us a valuable partner in your business’s success.
