Individual
Occupational Stress Assessment
Our Chartered Psychologists are qualified to
carry out independent occupational stress
assessments. Occupational stress assessments can
be carried out at an individual level to support a
person whilst they are still at work, or as part of
a planned return to work after a period of leave due
to ill health.
Our assessments are independent. This
means we complete the assessment report based only
on the evidence which emerges from the assessment
process itself. We do not set out to support or
disprove any particular point of view.
An occupational stress assessment can be damaging to
an individual if not carried out sensitively, and to the
highest ethical standards and level of professional
competence. We typically use a combination of structured
questionnaire and detailed feedback interview. The
assessment report typically deals with how the subject
feels about their job, their symptoms of stress, how
they feel and behave normally, how they interpret events
around them, the sources of stress in their job and how
they cope with the sources of stress they experience.
Our expertise in eliciting the demands of specific
job roles means we can very often produce a more
focussed report which also takes into account the unique
demands of a person's job and workplace, and where
possible, a more sympathetic appraisal of their
current/future fitness for work. We only carry out
assessments under the instruction of the employing
organization, or a relevant third party organization
such as an insurance company or solicitor, and with the
informed consent of the person involved. We do not carry
out occupational stress assessments at the request of
the individual subjects themselves. Very often, the
question to be answered is whether the person's
job/workplace is the source of stress / ill health, and
if so what could the organisation have done to prevent
it.
We are registered
under the Data Protection Act, and under data protection
laws, any report we produce must be made available to
the subject of the assessment upon request. We can also
carry out organization wide occupational stress
assessments to identify those work practices which are
causing employee stress on a larger scale.
