What does the assessment look like?
The questionnaire: The assessment consists of ten questions, each of which measures one specific dimension which could be identified as a potential stress-factor. The scores of the ten dimensions are then used to identify the psychological risk levels for different parts of the organization.
The results: In our reporting, we deliver insights by highlighting specific groups where psychological strain appears to be heavy, and therefore intervention is needed. We refer to these groups as "hotspots". In Germany, we work with specific partners for a thorough follow-up on the results.
The idea behind PsyGB
In response to changing work dynamics, there's a growing need to reevaluate occupational safety and health. Currently, there's a shift in focus towards understanding how mental stress affects employee motivation, performance, and well-being over time.
Many organizations are gradually addressing this, but face challenges due to unclear terminology and the unique nature of mental stress. Authentic communication and continuous improvement are crucial. A well-executed risk assessment can help adapt to changing work environments and enhance work quality, fulfilling legal obligations while promoting long-term organizational success.
Common misconceptions link mental stress to specific illnesses and treat it as a private matter. However, our assessment focuses on identifying and mitigating stressful work conditions, not individual mental health.
