Summary

Every employer has a legal duty to assess and protect employees from work-related stress under the Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1999.

The online Stress Indicator Tool (SIT) 2.0 measures the attitudes and perceptions of employees towards work-related stress, mental health and engagement levels.

It provides anonymous feedback and is a quick and easy way to determine the extent to which work-related stress is a problem within an organisation.

And reacting to the challenges of 2022, a remote working assessment has been created to monitor how employees are dealing with working away from the office.

Analysing and understanding these results will help develop an effective health and wellbeing strategy for the organisation.

Details

Put employees first by understanding their stress, mental health and engagement levels – whether they’re in the office, in another building, offsite or at home.

The Stress Indicator Tool 2.0 features a customisable questionnaire assessing the 6 key areas of work that are known to be the likely root causes of stress. There are also assessments around remote working, employee engagement, and whether or not an employee would recommend you as an employer to a friend (NPS score).

Here is an example of the remote working assessment.
