The Culture Pressure Map™ is a psychosocial risk diagnostic built for organisational culture. It pairs a frontstage-aware screening survey with a structured ethnographic investigation toolkit — a two-stage method grounded in peer-reviewed research. The findings flow into psychosocial hazard identification, risk assessment, and the reporting now expected by boards, regulators and insurers.
Peer-reviewed research published in the Health Promotion Journal of Australia in 2024 makes the case directly: surveys produce static manifestations of cultural knowledge. They surface what employees feel safe enough to say in a structured form. They miss the back stage sites of enactment — the microcultures where psychosocial pressure actually lives.
The Culture Pressure Map is built around what the research says you need: a screening layer to find the hotspots, then an ethnographic investigation layer to understand what's actually happening inside them.
Two diagnostic stages built directly from the published CPM framework, plus the action layer most tools forget.
A 78-item instrument across 3 culture layers (Ethos · Subcultures · Microcultures) covering all 15 SafeWork NSW psychosocial hazards plus the Vic gendered-violence requirement, plus seven IJWHM signature indices. Tells you where the pressure is concentrated. ~12 mins per respondent.
For every hotspot the Screening reveals, CPM guides your PCBU through a structured ethnographic investigation — field journal, rich-points log, microculture mapper, integration-vs-differentiation panel, reflexivity tracker. The signature CPM diagnostic.
34+ evidence-based interventions mapped to each hazard and each signature index, plus a regulator-ready report combining quantitative and ethnographic findings — the documentary record SafeWork or WorkSafe needs to see.
Full regulatory coverage across SafeWork NSW and Vic Psychological Health hazards, the signature diagnostic constructs from the CPM academic framework, and the documentation regulators expect.
78 items, 3 culture layers, 5 hazard categories, 17 regulated hazards. Anonymous, segmented by department.
Field journal, rich-points log, microculture mapper, reflexivity tracker — the methodology from the Cultural Blind Spots paper, in software.
3 layers × 5 categories heatmap plus a dedicated panel for the 7 CPM signature indices.
Covers all 15 SafeWork NSW psychosocial hazards including sexual harassment, remote/isolated work, gendered violence, normative control, and emotional labour.
One report combines Stage 1 quantitative findings with Stage 2 ethnographic evidence. Built to stand up to a regulator or a court.
Optional access to organisational ethnographers to run Stage 2 Research and Analysis.

The 78-question Screening across three culture layers and five hazard categories, plus seven signature diagnostic indices unique to the Kiaos framework. Your team runs it, the platform produces board-grade reports, your data stays in your tenant.
Bespoke quote. Delivered personally by Dr Anna Kiaos.
When the Screening has reached the limit of what a survey can detect, the Investigation goes after the why. 4–8 weeks of qualitative fieldwork, trust-based interviews, and direct observation of how work actually gets done in your priority hotspots.
* Indicative starting point for the Investigation. Final quote is agreed after a complimentary scoping conversation — pricing varies with organisation size, number of departments, on-site days, interview volume, and Investigation depth.
Start with the Culture Pressure Map Screening. Add the Culture Pressure Map Investigation when the Screening flags something the survey can't fully see.
