An organisational stress audit involves assessing
the sources of occupational stress right across your
organisation, and how widespread an effect they
are having on your staff. We do not use 'off the
shelf' surveys since each person's perceived sources of
occupational stress is unique.
Simply using a pre-existing measurement
tool restricts the factors measured to what the tool
designers consider to be sources of stress, rather
than what the employees consider to be sources of
stress. Consequently the results may have little
value.
Instead we use an Interpretative
Phenomenological Approach which
involves developing a custom survey, based on
focussed interviews with a selection of staff, to
complete the audit. After the audit we make
recommendations for remedial action based on the
results.
