Heartbeat: New assessment to help reduce the impact of stress

August 13, 2020

Our workplace is launching a new way of completing stress risk assessments in addition to the retrospective assessments that happen when colleagues are feeling stressed and or have been off work with stress. This new assessment is able to be taken proactively at the same time of year each year to check the stress levels in departments and to drive interventions to reduce stress.

The new assessment tool is available as an e-form that can be found by looking for the green button on the right hand side on the Connect homepage. The form takes a few minutes to complete and is sent confidentially to the wellbeing hub. The wellbeing hub will not forward information to your manager without your consent.

The stress risk assessment is designed to identify employees who require additional support and to have supportive conversations through the wellbeing hub to decrease the impact of stress in those high risk areas.
