Since the coming into force of Bill 27<\/a>, preventing psychosocial risks (PSR) has become an essential responsibility for Qu\u00e9bec employers. The CNESST emphasizes that these risks must be identified, corrected and controlled just like other workplace risks. Decision-making autonomy, workload, recognition, support and organizational justice are all factors that directly influence psychological health and the sustainable performance of teams.<\/p>\n To support organizations in this prevention process, EPSI offers a survey-based assessment grounded in the scientific Job Demands\u2013Resources (JD-R) model<\/strong>. This approach helps organizations understand internal workplace dynamics and act where risks are concentrated, using concrete, comparable data.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Job Demands\u2013Resources model (Bakker and Demerouti, 2007) provides a nuanced view of well-being at work. It is based on two simple observations:<\/p>\n Analyzing these two dimensions together provides a balanced picture of organizational health, particularly when the absence of a resource is experienced as a shortfall and becomes a demand in itself (Bakker and Demerouti, 2007). This makes it possible to identify both areas of overload and resources to strengthen in order to restore a healthy, engaging workplace climate.<\/p>\n Through its survey platform, EPSI turns this model into a practical assessment tool<\/strong>. Drawing on databases containing nearly 30 million responses across various sectors, the solution offers a reliable, contextualized view of the realities experienced in each organization.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Psychosocial risks are not visible to the naked eye: they emerge through the experience of work. Employee perceptions therefore become an essential indicator for detecting imbalances at an early stage, before consequences such as distress, conflict or turnover appear.<\/p>\n That is why EPSI\u2019s solution<\/a> uses a research-based questionnaire<\/strong>, available in French and English, covering the main dimensions recognized by the CNESST, INSPQ and CCOHS, as well as in the scientific literature (Gilbert et al., 2011; V\u00e9zina et al., 2006): autonomy, support, communication, recognition, justice, role clarity, psychological safety, workload, leadership and organizational culture.<\/p>\n This process is firmly grounded in primary prevention<\/strong>: it allows organizations to act before problems take hold rather than correcting them afterwards. Rigorous analyses guide action plans tailored to each workplace\u2019s circumstances.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Psychosocial risk assessment should not be viewed as an administrative burden. When carried out effectively, it becomes a powerful way to strengthen organizational health, work quality and talent retention.<\/p>\n By adopting EPSI\u2019s survey solution, organizations gain:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Compliance with Bill 27 is an obligation, but it is also an opportunity to build healthier, more motivating and higher-performing workplaces. By rigorously assessing demands and resources, organizations reduce risks at the source, support psychological health and strengthen collective engagement.<\/p>\n Based on the Job Demands\u2013Resources model, EPSI\u2019s survey solution turns prevention into a practical, measurable and sustainable process that supports a meaningful organizational health and engagement initiative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Our team helps organizations take the pulse of their workplace climate and build environments where psychological health and performance go hand in hand.

The platform allows results to be broken down by unit, site or occupation. This level of detail is essential: it helps identify specific work environments at risk rather than relying solely on overall averages.<\/li>\n
With its extensive comparative databases, EPSI places each organization\u2019s results within its industry context. Differences become more meaningful, making it easier to identify areas of vulnerability and distinctive strengths.<\/li>\n
The PSR module integrates with EPSI\u2019s engagement survey, reducing the response burden and maximizing the strategic value of the data collected. The results can also support obtaining EPSI\u2019s employer brand certification<\/a>, publicly recognizing the quality of internal practices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nMeaningful Compliance Focused on Organizational Health<\/strong><\/h2>\n
