Summary:
GATE™️ is a risk management system for psychosocial risk.
GATE provides control, accountability, and traceability—at the same level as other business-critical areas.Aligned with ISO 45003 and CSRD/ESRS S1.
Change Collective provides a governance system for psychosocial risk: We help leaders detect and reduce psychosocial risks that show up at work before they become sick leave, performance loss, reputational damage, or safety incidents. GATE makes visible how HR, managers, and sustainability governance (CSRD S) connect — where the chain breaks and which concrete next steps repair it. We measure system patterns and aggregated risk dynamics. Before they create execution leakage.
Why leadership owns the issue
Psychosocial risk is a work-environment and accountability risk that affects operations, productivity, retention, safety, and compliance. ISO 45003 places psychosocial risk inside the OH&S management system, i.e., as a leadership responsibility. Under CSRD/ESRS, companies must describe material risks to the workforce and how they govern them — at board and executive level.
What GATE changes in practice
-
A clear risk map identifying where psychosocial risk and adverse leadership patterns are present, and where early indicators suggest they are emerging, before those patterns create execution leakage.
-
A prioritized action list linked to standards and business effects.
-
A follow-up rhythm that shows movement over time — from “we sense something is happening” to “we govern risks.”
Mini-FAQ
-
How is this different from a standard employee survey?
Standard surveys show how people perceive their wellbeing. GATE shows which risk mechanisms and leadership patterns are forming, and which governance actions reduce risk. -
Does GATE replace our existing surveys?
No. GATE runs in parallel and adds a governance layer for psychosocial risk. -
Are the tools anonymous?
Yes. Results are shown only at aggregated level, and no individual results are reported to HR or managers. -
What do we receive after a pilot?
A leadership brief with risk zones and prioritised actions, manager persona receipts (MBC), and recommendations based on real results and a leadership session to decide next steps. -
We don’t think we have risk — why run it?
Exactly for that reason: a pilot provides baseline data so you can govern preventively instead of guessing.

GATE is the response engine that makes your routines operational and traceable — before signals escalate.
-
It detects traceable risk signals early. Risk signals often show up in absence/sick leave, conflicts, silence in teams, or managers’ uncertainty.
-
It connects HR, managers, and sustainability in a clear chain and shows where it breaks down.
-
It provides concrete next steps for leadership and managers.
For employers with complex operations — often from around 100 employees and up — with multiple management layers and many teams.
“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river.
We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”
— Desmond Tutu
Why choose Change Collective
CSRD and ISO 45003 demand more than awareness.
Simply recognizing the risks is not enough. Organizations must demonstrate traceability, compliance, and concrete action — otherwise both governance risk and costs increase.
Today's organizations face escalating risks:
• Mental health challenges
• Compliance and reporting pressures
• Workplace harassment and misconduct
• Domestic abuse spillover and stalking affecting employees and teams
After 9 1/2 years we know that traditional awareness lectures and policy documents are not enough.
Without active, integrated systems in place, these risks can erode employee trust, damage brand reputation, and escalate business costs.
To thrive in today's environment — and meet tomorrow's standards — companies must act proactively and measurably.
Change Collective equips you with the complete system organizations of the future demand: rapid response, workplace audits, trauma-informed certification, and ESG-aligned due diligence.
Solution
We make psychosocial risk governable through GATE™ — our operational governance system.
GATE closes the gap between policy and day-to-day practice by detecting early risk signals, connecting accountability across HR–managers–leadership–CSRD/OSA, and directing the next steps.
Everything else we offer is designed to support and strengthen that GATE logic.
For whom?
Board / HR / CFO / Risk & Compliance leadership
GATE is typically co-sponsored by HR/People and a leadership owner (e.g., COO/CRO/ESG) — this secures mandate and makes the pilot actionable.
Automation & Scale
Change Collective is not a consultancy model — it is a system.
Our diagnostic and governance tools are automated for scale, ensuring consistent quality and rapid implementation across entire organizations.
-
Audit Light: simplified psychological safety audits, automated reporting.
-
Bias Check: manager-specific insights with immediate, structured feedback.
-
GATE™ System: governance protocols codified for repeatability.
This automation means capacity is not limited by individuals. Every client receives the same rigor, speed, and traceability — whether the organization has 50 or 5,000 employees.
ROI & Financial Impact
The Business Case for Action
