Stress Measurement & Insight
Making workplace stress visible before it becomes costly
Workplace stress is difficult to recognise.
Whilst some pressure is healthy and can drive performance, unmanaged stress can have damaging consequences for both individuals and organisations.
The challenge is that the point at which healthy pressure tips into harmful stress is different for everyone, making the early warning signs difficult to recognise. In addition, stress has become normalised in many workplaces and organisations often have no structured, rigorous way of measuring it against a healthy standard.
As a result, stress frequently goes unrecognised until a personal or organisational crisis.
Like any other organisational risk, workplace stress should be measured, quantified, monitored and managed proactively.
Using our validated assessment, AURA enables employees to assess and understand their stress levels, helping them recognise their early warning signs and take action to prevent burnout and strengthen their resilience.
Anonymised, aggregated results are reported at team, business unit and organisational level, enabling teams and leaders to identify priority areas, co-create targeted action plans and monitor stress levels over time.
“We now believe measuring stress resilience is more important than engagement”
— Treesan Boonma, Head of HR, APAC, Booking.comThe AURA Assessment Model
A validated, multi-dimensional framework for measuring and managing the impacts of stress
Measuring and calibrating stress levels
AURA measures the observable impacts of stress on mental, physical and social health, providing an overall Stress Resilience Index and positioning individuals or business units along a continuum of risk ranging between ‘resilient’ and ‘crisis’.
This provides a consistent benchmark for calibrating stress levels and recognising early warning signs before they develop into burnout.
