About this Community

The What Works Institute SIF, HOP & Psychosocial Intersections Learning Community is more than a network - it is a living workgroup of committed EHS leaders dedicated to sharing practices, addressing common challenges, and elevating their organization’s approach to this critical issue. Community members meet monthly both virtually and at What Works events to compare programs, identify and test new tactics, and push one another on a collective journey of continuous improvement.

What do Members Receive?

What Works Learning Community members receive a wealth of content and connections throughout the year. The below list is just a taste of what you can expect when you join one of our dynamic, member-led groups:

  • Weekly Community Updates and Regulatory Newsletter of your choosing (select from one of five)

  • Monthly Community Calls focused on benchmarking, practice-sharing and solutions

  • Quarterly Webinars with rich content from expert speakers and members willing to dive deep

  • Three annual events (one virtual, two in-person) as well as a reduced pass to the annual What Works Summit.

  • Regularly-published tools, guidance, policy and program templates, and white papers

  • Access to a living content library from across What Works Institute communities and workgroups

Current Scope of Work

Currently, the SIF, HOP & Psychosocial Intersections Learning Community is focused on two major topics: defining emerging best practice in SIF and HOP interventions and exploring the intersections between these issues and psychosocial risk factors. This includes discussion of issues ranging from energy control to cultural risk-taking. What Works staff provides ongoing facilitation as the community explores these topics and sets its agenda for the future.

Free Resources

The What Works Institute believes in aggregating resources plainly and sharing them as widely as possible. While our more complex and comprehensive tools and guidance documents are available by joining our communities or for purchase in our store, we are happy to share a number of these resources for free. Future planned resources on this topic include:

  • SIF, HOP & Psychosocial Intersections White Paper Executive Summary

  • SIF, HOP & Psychosocial Intersections Organizational Maturity Model

  • SIF, HOP & Psychosocial Intersections Program Guide
