Frequently asked questions

What evidence should I collect when using this stress risk assessment template?

Collect both quantitative data (absence rates, turnover statistics, employee surveys) and qualitative feedback (interviews, focus groups). Document specific workplace stressors, their impact on different teams, and effectiveness of current control measures. This combination provides a comprehensive picture of stress factors and helps prioritize interventions where they’re most needed.

How do I involve employees in the stress risk assessment process?

Involve employees through confidential surveys, focus groups, or one-on-one discussions using the template’s structured questions. Clearly explain the purpose is prevention, not blame. Encourage honest feedback about stressors and potential solutions. Employee participation is crucial—they understand daily pressures best and their buy-in increases the effectiveness of any interventions implemented.

What actions should follow after completing this stress risk assessment?

After assessment, develop an action plan addressing identified stressors, assigning responsibilities and timeframes for implementation. Prioritize high-risk areas while balancing quick wins with longer-term solutions. Communicate findings and planned actions to all staff. Schedule follow-up assessments to evaluate intervention effectiveness and make adjustments as needed.

How can I use this template for individual stress cases rather than team assessments?

Adapt the template by focusing questions on individual experiences rather than team dynamics. Meet privately in a comfortable setting, emphasize confidentiality, and use the six Management Standards as conversation guides. Document specific stressors affecting the individual, explore reasonable accommodations, and develop personalized support plans with regular check-ins to monitor progress.
