Stress indicator

This online survey/risk assessment is based on the HSE Indicator Tool for Work Related Stress. The questions and scoring are identical to the HSE methodology so data can be used for benchmarking against other organisations.

The Stress Indicator process begins with automated emails being sent to each of your employees. The emails contain a link connecting to the Indicator survey. This can run on the Cardinus web server or your own intranet.

Employees simply step though the questionnaire, answering each question to the best of their ability. Data is saved back to the PACE database for analysis.

Analysis and reporting

The Indicator is based on the HSE scoring system from 1 (poor performance) to 5 (good performance). Because PACE uses a risk scoring system where 0 is low and 10 is high risk, all the HSE scores have been reversed and based on a scale of 10. To enable customers to use the HSE benchmarking spreadsheet, Cardinus have provided a data output which will enable total scores to be copied straight into the HSE spreadsheet for further analysis.

Privacy options

To ensure confidentiality, Cardinus can provide a number of different options for data management and analysis:

1. Isolated system (hosted customers only). All stress related data resides in a separate, isolated PACE database, providing zero access to you or your staff. Cardinus analyses data by agreed groupings ie. location/department ensuring total confidentiality.

2. Limited access. This option provides access to senior H&S, Occupational Health staff, using an existing or new PACE database. Only statistical data can be viewed. (Individual records are not accessible).

3. Summary access. As option 2 but will show the overall risk rating for each individual.

4. Conventional access. This option reports in the same way as other risk assessments (showing full detail). However, access can be limited to selected admnistrators.

Security

Cardinus can provide a secure connection (SSL/https) to protect your employee data (hosted customers only).
