JSECC
Psychosocial Survey
Assess Job Satisfaction, Engagement, Connection, and Work Context (JSECC) and measure psychosocial hazard compliance with the PURE Framework.
JSECC Psychosocial Survey
Workplaces today must not only support employee well-being but also comply with evolving psychosocial hazard legislation, such as the Work Health and Safety (Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work) Code of Practice in Australia.
The Job Satisfaction, Engagement, Co-worker Connection Quality, and Work Context (JSECC) survey provides a comprehensive, all-in-one solution for organisations to:
- Understand employee experiences of their work environment
- Measure 25 sub-factors of workplace satisfaction, engagement, connection, and context
- Assess 17 legislated psychosocial hazards, aligned with the latest standards
- Provide both individual insights and group-level compliance reporting
What JSECC Measures
A comprehensive, all-in-one work factors survey to get a detailed insight into how staff experience the work environment.
Job Satisfaction
Explores how people feel about their role and organisation:
Job Enjoyment – Enjoyment of work overall, regardless of other factors
Leadership Views – Support for the organisation’s top leaders and their vision for the future

Development Opportunities – Perception of having sufficient chances to learn and grow at work
Recognition – Receiving appropriate appreciation and recognition for contributions
Commitment – Intention to stay with, or potentially leave, an organisation
Engagement
Examines motivation and involvement in work:
- Motivation – The drive and initiative brought into work tasks
- Interest – The level of attention and involvement given to work
- Productivity – How consistently tasks are completed and output is maintained
- Involvement – The extent of contribution and participation with co-workers
- Accomplishment – The sense of satisfaction and achievement felt when completing tasks
Co-worker Connection Quality
Assesses team dynamics and trust:
Association – The closeness of working relationships and friendships at work
Harmony – The degree to which conflict is low, or effectively resolved when it arises
Communication – How well co-workers share information, collaborate, and coordinate tasks
Trust – Confidence in co-workers to be reliable and open when discussing challenges
Work Context
Reviews the environment, safety, and impact of work:
Ergonomics – Whether the workspace is designed to be comfortable and adaptable to needs
Work Safety – How physically safe people are at work, including protection from injury or harm
Policies and Procedures – The clarity and fairness of rules that guide how work is done
Administrative Work – The degree to which paperwork and admin tasks are manageable or burdensome
Public Interactions – How challenging or easy interactions with the public are
Training Regimes – The quality and manageability of training provided
Work Mental Impact – The emotional and mental demands of the work
Work Social Impact – How well people can maintain a social life alongside work pressures
Work Relationship Impact – The impact of the work on the existence or quality of romantic relationships
PURE - Psychosocial Hazard Compliance
The JSECC integrates the Protect, Unite, Respect, Empower (PURE) framework to measure 17 psychosocial hazards required under law.
Each of the 17 hazards are scored to indicate whether they are:
- High Risk (0–40%) – Needs urgent attention.
- Moderate Risk (40–60%) – Requires further action.
- Managed (60–100%) – Indicates good hazard management.
This framework helps organisations both improve culture and provide evidence for compliance. JSECC group reports produced through the Driven Pro system automatically include the PURE Psychosocial Hazard Review section, setting out the 17 hazards and management ratings for each through 5 additional pages.
PURE Insights
When participants complete JSECC, their scores automatically get aggregated at a group level to also measure the 17 psychosocial hazards.
Protect
Focuses on hazards that compromise safety and security in the workplace.
- Job Insecurity – When employees feel uncertain about the stability of their employment
- Traumatic Events and Materials – Exposure to distressing events or materials that create significant emotional or psychological strain
- Remote or Isolated Work – Working in locations or conditions that reduce access to social support or emergency help
- Poor Physical Environment – Unsafe or hazardous work settings that risk physical health or wellbeing
- Intrusive Surveillance – Excessive or invasive monitoring of workers that undermines trust and autonomy
Unite
Addresses hazards that stem from harmful workplace culture and interpersonal conflict.
Violence and Aggression – Experiencing or witnessing acts of aggression or violence at work
Bullying – Repeated or severe negative behaviour from others that creates a hostile work environment
Harassment (Including Sexual Harassment) – Single or repeated incidents of inappropriate or discriminatory behaviour that create a toxic environment
Conflict or Poor Workplace Relationships – Frequent clashes or negative interactions between workers that escalate if left unresolved
Poor Support – Inadequate access to resources, information, or management support needed to work effectively
Respect
Covers hazards linked to fairness, acknowledgement, and organisational justice.
Inadequate Reward and Recognition – A lack of acknowledgement for effort, few opportunities for growth, or unfair career advancement
Poor Organisational Justice – Unfair or inconsistent policies, decision-making, or resource allocation that create feelings of injustice
Empower
Relates to hazards connected with workload, clarity, and autonomy.

Poor Organisational Change Management – Insufficient consultation, communication, or support during workplace changes
High/Low Job Demands – Workloads that are either excessive or not challenging enough, creating stress and dissatisfaction
Fatigue – Physical or mental exhaustion that reduces the ability to work safely and effectively
Low Job Control – Limited autonomy or decision-making power in how and when work is done

JSECC can easily be administered with an individual or organisation through a single registration link. This link can be emailed to all participants who can then register and complete the assessments.
From there, participants receive individual reports for personal insight, and aggregated & de-identified group reports are automatically generated.
