HSE-Aligned Tools for a Safer, Stronger Workplace Culture

When it comes to workplace wellbeing, leadership isn’t just about compliance — it’s about creating environments where people can think clearly, act bravely, and perform at their best. Vox Animae’s trio of tools gives you the competitive edge by aligning directly with HSE guidance while unlocking deeper performance and cultural insights.

✅ 1. Safe to Speak: The Gold Standard in Measuring Psychological Safety

Vox’s flagship Safe to Speak tool is the only diagnostic on the market that measures psychological safety across three levels — Individual, Leader, and Organisation — and four dimensions: Inclusion, Learner, Contributor, and Challenger safety.

Developed using validated frameworks from Edmondson, Kahn, and Clark, this tool transforms vague ideas into actionable data. It identifies blind spots in communication, trust, and leadership support — all critical to high-stakes decision-making and safety culture, as confirmed by Project Aristotle and HSE literature.

“If your people don’t feel safe to speak up, you’ll never hear what’s really going on.” — Safe to Speak

✅ 2. Individual Mental Health Check-In: Early Intervention Meets HSE Standards

Rooted in the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) and aligned to HSE Management Standards, the Individual Check-In Tool proactively identifies mental health risks before they escalate.

Covering stress, autonomy, support, and resilience, this check-in empowers leaders to intervene early — reducing absenteeism, preventing burnout, and protecting morale in high-demand roles. It is non-clinical, confidential, and easy to use, making it ideal for line managers and HR professionals alike.

✅ 3. Workplace Risk Assessment: Integrating Mental Health into Safety Management

This toolkit directly supports HSE employer obligations by providing a clear framework for identifying, assessing, and mitigating psychosocial risks (demands, control, support, role clarity, relationships, and change).

It plugs seamlessly into existing safety systems and moves mental health from the side lines to the centre of your operational risk strategy — ensuring your wellbeing policies stand up to scrutiny.

🚀 Why Use All Three Tools Together?

When used in tandem, these tools form a comprehensive, multi-layered strategy for cultural health and compliance:

• Measure what matters — from trust to stress to structural risk
• Spot hidden issues before they become costly problems
• Empower leaders to act on real data, not assumptions
• Foster engagement and retention by creating environments where people feel safe, supported, and valued
• Meet and exceed HSE obligations on mental health and welfare

📈 Toxic workplace culture is over 10x more predictive of employee attrition than compensation.
