Safe Minds, Better Work™
A structured transformation programme that translates Safe Minds Index™ intelligence into prioritised, evidence-based action—aligned to compliance, governance, and assurance expectations.
What is Safe Minds, Better Work™?
Safe Minds, Better Work™ is the operational framework that translates Safe Minds Index™ insights into sustained organisational improvement. It's a multi-stage transformation programme that establishes governance structures, prioritised interventions, and ongoing monitoring—ensuring action is proportionate to risk, aligned to regulatory expectations, and defensible over time.
From insight to action
The Safe Minds Index™ identifies where attention is needed. Safe Minds, Better Work™ provides the pathway—prioritising interventions by materiality, sequencing action appropriately, and ensuring resources are directed to material risks first.
Progress is monitored through successive Index assessments, demonstrating maturity improvement and providing evidence of intervention effectiveness to boards, regulators, and insurers.
The maturity pathway
Safe Minds, Better Work™ supports organisations to progress through defined maturity stages over time. Each stage builds on the previous, with clear governance milestones and evidence of capability development.

The progression through these stages is not linear or time-bound. It depends on organisational context, starting maturity, resource availability, and regulatory requirements. The programme is designed to support this progression at a pace appropriate to the organisation.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a wellbeing programme?
Safe Minds, Better Work™ is a psychosocial safety maturity transformation programme focused on governance, compliance, and risk management. It assesses and develops organisational systems and controls required to manage psychosocial risks in accordance with regulatory obligations. Workforce wellbeing improvements are a consequence of better risk management, not the programme's primary focus.
Do we have to use specific consultants?
No. Delivery is enabled through accredited partners, but you may engage any accredited partner that meets InCheq's framework requirements, or work with your existing professional services providers if they become accredited. The accreditation process ensures partners understand the framework, follow evidence-based practice, and maintain documentation standards.
How is progress monitored over time?
Progress is monitored through successive Safe Minds Index™ assessments, typically annually or bi-annually. Each assessment measures maturity across the same framework, demonstrating whether interventions are effective and where further attention is required.
