What drives me

My name is Jane Eldridge

My career has been devoted to supporting health practitioners handle sensitive regulatory complaints made about them in the course of their work.

This has shaped an unshakeable belief in 2 things. The first is that workplace culture is a major contributor to our wellbeing. The second is that a healthy workplace culture drives high performance.

So, employers and employees want the same thing and that's absolutely achievable when we understand what's really driving the culture - what's actually bubbling under the surface of the engagement surveys.

We can achieve this by listening to people. Employees will drive the culture that managers want if they are given the opportunity to be seen and heard in a psychologically safe environment that empowers them to be honest.

This is why workplace interviews conducted by an independent trusted third party who listens to understand, are a valuable leadership tool. Interviews establish the truth. The data is valid, authentic and a solid foundation from which the strategic framework can be built.

This is why I love this work.

About Us

Psychosocial Hazards

Safe Work Australia defines a psychological hazard in the workplace as anything that could cause psychological harm (eg harm someone’s mental health).

But psychosocial hazards can be difficult to identify and isolate and this can make it challenging for an employer to eliminate the risk or if that is not reasonably practicable, minimise them so far as is reasonably practicable.

Often, what an employer needs most importantly is a conversation with an expert to support them through the process of identifying and assessing possible psychosocial hazards. This provides the employer with an understanding of how to manage any psychosocial hazards that may (or may not) exist in the workplace.

This is where JEC & Associates can help

How to ensure your team feels heard

indigenous woman leaning forward while seated, to look at and listen to team member There is a world of difference between ‘being listened to’ and feeling that you have ‘been heard’. But I have to admit that I didn’t really appreciate that fact until recently. My focus has always been on refining the art of listening, by utilising more than just my ears, to make sure I picked up on any subliminal messaging. I hope I have by now honed that skill. Along the way I have also

Let's make 2026 the year for connection in the workplace

Cows in a paddock that have all come together to do their thing - proximity and shared purpose Loneliness and social disconnection is palpable in our communities. It is impacting our physical and psychological health and is 'the hidden threat to global health we can no longer ignore'. https://lnkd.in/gbCFV5-q We need to address this issue and I believe the workplace is an ideal forum for taking the small strides that could result in massive change.

Prioritising 'people' in workplace investigations

As organisations face increasing obligations under WHS reforms to identify, manage and control psychosocial hazards, the need to conduct thorough workplace investigations will also increase. But workplace investigations of themselves, have the potential to be extremely traumatic for participants. This is because the outcome can result in serious consequences that can change people’s lives. An investigation that is poorly executed can lead to stress, anxiety, sleep disorder
