What you actually get
A clear, benchmarked picture, not another survey dump
Every administration produces the same three things, ready to share with your leadership team.
Why trust the OHIQ
Built on a validated model, not opinion
Built on the validated Psychologically Healthy Organisation (PHO) model, developed by Professor Jason Spendelow PhD.
Rigorously validated through independent exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.
Measures 14 workplace-condition components rolling up into two factors: Work Design and Organisational Support.
Anonymous, benchmarked reporting, compared against an industry database with a clear action cut-point.
“The OHIQ measures the upstream organisational conditions that drive wellbeing, retention, and performance, so leaders can act on causes, not symptoms.”
In practice
What it looks like inside an organisation
The OHIQ has been transformative for our work in developing a proactive and positive approach to creating a psychologically healthy organisation. Whilst existing institutional surveys provide useful benchmarks for the wider sector, the OHIQ is a highly-specific and evidence-based tool that has been embraced by colleagues with a very high response rate. We are now mapping the outcomes to our project streams to ensure we focus on key priorities areas to meet our strategic aims.
