What is the Stress Indicator Tool?

Every employer has a legal duty to assess and protect employees from work-related stress under the Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1999.

Stress is a major cause of sickness absence in the workplace and costs over £5 billion a year in Great Britain. It affects individuals, their families and colleagues by impacting on their health, but it also has tremendous financial and operational impacts for employers.

Therefore, industry experts at HSE have developed and produced an online Stress Indicator Tool (SIT) that measures the attitudes and perceptions of employees towards work-related stress.


Benefits of using Stress Indicator Tool

  • Intuitive system that reduces admin time and resources used
  • Survey available in multiple language templates
  • Options to customise – add branding, write a personalised introduction, choose appropriate demographic questions and tailor the terminology to reflect your workplace
  • Automatic analysis of the responses generates a summary report of the results and provides recommendations to address identified issues
  • Directly focus and compare results against departments, job roles, locations, age etc.
  • Functionality to create bespoke reports to highlight potential priority areas
  • Access to a wealth of HSE resources

Why should employers invest in mental health interventions?

A recent report from Deloitte shows a complex but positive case for employers to invest in the mental health of their employees, with an average return of £5 for every £1 spent (5:1). However, there is a large spread of potential returns from 0.4:1 up to nearly 11:1. Interventions with the highest returns tend to focus on preventative large scale initiatives, and on using technology or diagnostics to tailor support for those most in need.
