Stress Awareness & Measurement

Making workplace stress visible before it becomes costly

To manage stress, you first need to recognise it

Stress is complex and personal — the early warning signs can manifest in many different ways and can be subtle.

Furthermore, in many organisations, stress has become normalised, so people may not recognise when their feelings or behaviours are becoming unhealthy.

As a result, unhealthy stress often goes unnoticed until it becomes a far more complex, costly and difficult problem to address.

Early awareness enables early action

Without a reliable and structured way of measuring workplace stress, individuals may struggle to recognise when healthy pressure has become harmful stress, whilst teams and leaders have little visibility of emerging risks.

Measuring stress provides the insight needed to identify where attention is required — before problems escalate.

Using our validated AURA assessment, employees gain a clearer understanding of their own stress and resilience profile, while anonymised team and organisational reporting reveals patterns, pressure points and emerging risks.

This insight enables targeted, preventative action.

  • ‘’We work in a fast paced, ambiguous and volatile yet exciting environment. For us, managing risk from burnout is a top priority. AURA has enabled us to set a baseline and cadence for measuring and monitoring mental resilience so we can proactively take action to remedy areas where it is compromised on a personal and workplace level. The uptake from the team is consistently very high each quarter as the insights gained from AURA are so beneficial to building resilience in our environment. ”

    Madeline Stillman, Head of People & Culture, Zipline

  • “I felt overwhelmed at work and personally. The AURA assessment and Rachel's coaching was so valuable in helping me to take an important stop-check on my resilience level and providing insight into specific signs and issues that needed addressing. This was supported by really practical tips and tools which helped me build a focused development plan. I have now made some small, yet really impactful changes. “

    Rod Edmiston, Director

  • “Coming out of a tough period of change, AURA was extremely valuable in providing data-driven insight into the issue of stress. The team were able to uncover opportunities to create healthier habits and as a management team, we were able to better understand the pain points and put in place a targeted action plan to address these and foster a healthier and happier working environment.”

    Sarah McLellan, Head of Professional Services, Europe, SHL

  • For me this was a real wake up call in becoming aware of how I was really feeling, which was different to how I was telling myself I was feeling. The insights were evidence-based, and the tools for remedial action were remarkably simple and straightforward. A hugely worthwhile exercise.
