You Can’t Fix What You Can’t See
In most organisations, unhealthy stress goes unnoticed — until it becomes a crisis.
AURA provides a safe, data-driven way to surface stress patterns, identify early warning signs, and enable practical conversations before burnout takes hold.
What Is AURA?
AURA is a structured assessment and reporting system that helps individuals and organisations understand how stress is affecting performance, wellbeing, and resilience.
It combines psychological research with practical insight — turning complex data into clear, actionable guidance.
Powered by Science. Designed for Impact.
The AURA Model and Reporting System turn complex stress data into clear, actionable insight.
The AURA Model was developed in 2016 following an extensive research project and has been psychometrically validated to provide a standard for measuring stress and resilience levels.
It measures observable signs of stress along a continuum ranging from Crisis to Thriving, breaking this down across five key dimensions where stress can manifest — attitudinal, emotional, cognitive, physical, and behavioural.
This provides a holistic yet practical framework to quantify stress, identify focus areas and pinpoint issues — creating a clear platform for action and improvement.
By surfacing stress and channeling it into action, AURA helps organisations strengthen resilience from the inside out.
