Beacon Index. Continuous visibility of the conditions driving workplace psychosocial safety.

Structured measurement. Defensible evidence. Built for governance.

WHS legislation places a positive duty on organisations — and personally on their officers and directors — to identify, assess and control psychosocial hazards. Beacon Index gives organisations the visibility they need to identify, monitor and assess psychosocial risk exposure.

What it is

Individual privacy protected

No individual responses are stored. No individual results are visible.

System-level insight only

All data is de-identified and aggregated. Exposure is visible across domains and teams — not across individuals.

What it is not

Not an engagement survey

Does not ask how satisfied or happy employees are. It measures the structural conditions of the work environment.

Not a mental health screening tool

No individual is assessed, diagnosed or flagged. Only aggregated system-level data is produced.

Not a performance tool

Does not measure individual performance or productivity. It measures organisational conditions that drive psychosocial risk exposure.
