Stress Measurement
Building Stress Risk Intelligence
Understanding where pressure is helpful, where it is harmful - and where action is needed.
Leaders often ask:
How can we detect stress risk before burnout occurs?
How can we get deeper insight into the root causes of stress than an engagement survey offers?
What’s the impact of working practices (e.g. hybrid working) on burnout risk?
Where is harmful stress building across teams or functions?
How can we help employees recognise their stress and take early action?
How can we create safe channels for employees to disclose and surface concerns?
The Problem: A lack of recognition and measurement
In many organisations, stress risk is rarely discussed until performance or wellbeing has already been affected.
Because stress is complex and deeply personal, early warning signals are often missed. Even when they are recognised, stigma can discourage people from speaking up for fear of being seen as weak.
Historically, organisations have had limited ways to measure stress in a structured and reliable way. As a result, stress has often been treated as subjective or anecdotal rather than something that can be quantified and managed.
AURA Stress & Resilience Assessment
Grounded in scientific research and psychometrics, AURA is an online assessment that measures the mental, emotional, physical and social impacts of stress.
The AURA framework provides a healthy benchmark against which stress levels can be calibrated and overall burnout risk assessed.
Insights can be reported at individual, team and organisational levels, enabling leaders to identify emerging pressure points while protecting confidentiality.
This enables organisations to pinpoint systemic stress drivers and take targeted action before performance or wellbeing decline.
AURA enables organisations to measure stress risk and take targeted action across individuals, teams and the organisation as a whole.
