Transformative Change for a Human-Centred Corporate Climate

Co-designing Research: Transformative Change for a Human-Centred Corporate Climate Through Employee Assistance Providers

This research project sought to expand the work of EAPs and involve them in tailored Psychosocial Safety Climate (PSC) improvement interventions in client organisations. The project ran from May 2022 to January 2025 and was co-designed by the University of South Australia’s (UniSA) Psychosocial Safety Climate Global Observatory (PSC-GO), the Employee Assistance Professional Association of Australasia (EAPAA), and participating Employee Assistance Providers (EAPs). The project aimed to extend the work of EAPs from their traditional focus on the individual to the organisational climate level, to improve the psychological health of employees at scale, and improve engagement levels of EAPs.
