AUDIT
Know Your Stress Pain-Points.
A WellBeing Consultation To Evaluate Your Businesses Current Stress Levels.
The “Wellbeing Audit” is a consultation service where we evaluate how your business is performing in relation to the 6 key stress indicators identified by the HSE Management Standards.
These are:
-
Demands – this includes issues such as excessive workload, work patterns and the work environment.
-
Control – defined by how much say the person has in the way they get to do their work.
-
Support – this includes the encouragement, sponsorship and resources provided by the organisation, line management and colleagues to assist an individual to do their work without undue stress.
-
Relationships – this includes promoting positive working to avoid destructive conflict and being able to recognise and to deal with unacceptable behaviour.
-
Role – whether people understand their role within the organisation, project or task and whether the organisation ensures that they do not have conflicting roles.
-
Change – how organisational changes (large or small) are managed and communicated and implemented within the organisation.
Standards cover six key areas of work design that, if not properly managed, have been identified as being associated with poor health and well-being, lower productivity and increased sickness absence. In other words, the six Management Standards cover the primary sources of stress at work identified by the HSE research.
Having an external WellBeing Audit of your company gives you snapshot overview of where there are stress “pinch points” that need addressing. This is the starting point for developing any plan to reduce stress within the business related to working practices.
The objectives for the “WellBeing Audit” are:
-
Increase the awareness and ability of talent within your company to evaluate and recognise potential stressors in relation to current working conditions.
-
Provide a “snapshot” view across the company of your current stressors so management can take appropriate actions to mitigate stress.
It provides summary information of how you are performing against each of the Management Standards stressors. The scores range from 1 (poor) to 5 (desirable). The information is presented in the form of bar charts providing, your organisation’s score on each of the six Management Standards areas.

WORKSHOPS FOR MANAGEMENT
Working With Your Management To Design A Strategic Plan For Addressing Working Practices
Your companies policies and procedures are idiosyncratic to your business, therefore any solutions to stress related to working practices will be equally unique to your business.
“The Ultimate Blueprint for Creating Your Stress Management Plan” is a free e-book which will assist you through the process of getting your team on board, identifying stressors and creating a strategic plan. However, many companies prefer a “do it for / with us service” and to be coached through the evaluation and design stages of creating a stress management plan.
The advantage of being coached is the assurance of knowing that you have an experienced wellbeing coach to guide your team through the enquiry process, this gives you the advantage of a third party opinion which is unbiased - this is known as “high construal thinking” or better known as “seeing the wood for the trees.” who can mentor your team.
To assist with this process we offer either a 1-day or half workshop for key management staff
HOW IT WORKS
The WellBeing Workshops for Management are made up of 2 parts.
Part One sets the conditions for a productive meeting and is designed to ensure that any of the common obstructions to developing a plan fit for purpose notably “deniability”, “diffusion of responsibility” and “stigma” are addressed
In the first part of the workshop, the management team will be guided through a series of coaching and training exercises to ensure there is:
-
Clarity of Purpose.
-
Honesty & Trust amongst all participants
-
Accountability and Responsibility amongst your team
Part Two of the workshop is a series of guided coaching exercises designed to identify the problems specific to your business in relation to the key stress indicators, and to explore possible solutions in relation to working practices.
By the end of the workshop, management will be in a position to run follow up meetings if they need to continue with the design process. They will also be able to conduct review meetings to assess the feedback received from any working practice changes implemented.
