What psychosocial risks are
They are the aspects of work organisation, job content and the working environment that can harm the mental, social or physical health of employees. They include excessive workload, role ambiguity, lack of support, violence and harassment, and the inability to disconnect outside working hours.
The three questions
For a small organisation, PD 62/2025 translates into three practical questions. Has it been documented which factors weigh on staff? Is there a way to report an incident? Is there a plan for whatever was identified?
What must exist in writing
- Documentation of the factors that weigh on staff, with a method and a record.
- A written procedure for reporting incidents of violence and harassment, with forms and named roles.
- Information and training for staff.
- An action plan for what was identified, with a timeline and an owner.
Where self-assessment stops, and how full coverage is achieved
The PCWH Diagnostic™ is aligned with PD 62/2025 and is a tool for documentation and for planning interventions. It is not a formal Occupational Risk Assessment Study and does not replace the legally required process, which is carried out by a licensed External Occupational Health and Safety Service, known in Greece as ΕΞΥΠΠ.
We work with licensed providers. Our work covers the psychosocial side, that is the measurement, the written deliverables and the training, while the licensed provider carries out the formal risk assessment and everything that requires accreditation.
If your organisation already works with a licensed provider, we work directly with them on the psychosocial part.
The first steps
Start from the measurement, so that you know what applies in your own organisation rather than in the sector average. Then prioritise, because it is rarely necessary to do everything at once. And document every step.
Frequently asked questions
Does it apply to very small organisations?
Yes. The framework does not exempt small organisations. What changes is the extent of the documentation, not the obligation.
Does the PCWH Diagnostic replace the formal risk assessment?
No. It is a self-assessment and planning tool. The formal occupational risk assessment is carried out by a licensed provider, with whom we work.
Where does a ten-person organisation start?
From documenting the current situation and from a written incident reporting procedure. Those two cover most of the gap.
