NR-1 · Psychosocial Risks · Labor Compliance

Is your company ready to govern its human risks?

Brazil's updated NR-1 regulation, in force since May 2026, requires companies to formally identify, assess and manage psychosocial risks at work. Harassment, overload, abusive leadership and interpersonal conflict now must be part of the Risk Management Program (PGR), with evidence, documentation and defined responsibilities.

This is no longer just an HR matter. It is corporate governance.

Psychosocial risks now carry the same weight as physical and chemical hazards

The updated NR-1 elevated psychosocial risks to the same status as physical and chemical hazards in the workplace. This means formal mapping, documented evidence, defined roles and real liability in case of omission.

A well-intentioned policy is no longer enough — companies must build actual governance: committees, processes, indicators and auditable whistleblowing channels.

Companies that structure their governance now will reach full enforceability with documentation, evidence and processes already in place — and with a real competitive advantage.

Where does your company stand?

High rate of mental-health-related leave
Turnover above industry average
Recurring complaints about leadership
No structured whistleblowing channel
PGR with no psychosocial risk inventory
Low engagement and deteriorating climate
No or outdated leadership training

If one or more of these apply to your company, it's time to map your exposure level.

Human Risk Maturity Index

Before any solution, we understand where your company truly stands. The Human Risk Maturity Index is our proprietary diagnostic methodology: it assesses the organization's maturity across eight critical dimensions and precisely defines what needs to be done, in what order, and with what urgency.

01

Governance and committee structure

02

HR management (onboarding, performance, offboarding)

03

Occupational health & NR-1 / PGR compliance

04

Compliance and risk mapping

05

Whistleblowing channel (existence, maturity, indicators)

06

Leadership and management culture

07

Mental health and support programs

08

Indicators and data quality

The result: an executive report with a score per dimension, a risk heat map, and a clear recommendation for the next step — whether rapid compliance or a full governance program.

From assessment to continuous monitoring

A clear path, tailored to each company's size and current stage.
