Assessments for managing pressure

We can arrange for assessments to be carried out with individuals, groups and whole areas of your organisation, depending on your specific identified need. Although our main tools have some similarities, they are different in detail and depth. This means they can be used for differing applications.

1) The Optimal Health Questionnaire

What it is:

This is a straightforward and easy to complete questionnaire which identifies where specific imbalances are occurring in five core dimensions of your life; Physical, Emotional, Mental, Social and Spiritual. These sit within a fuller model of pressure management, and are the foundation for your stress resilience.

What it does:

When to use it:

It can be used for individuals who become aware that things appear to be getting too much or that certain areas of life do not seem to be operating in a productive way. If they are going to use coaching or similar support, it provides a good platform to build upon.

We often use this questionnaire within our Managing Pressure programmes because it is a useful tool and can work very effectively when shared with colleagues.

3) Organisational tools

We have a number of tools and approaches to use where there may be organisational health or organisational culture issues. These are a useful starting point for exploring ways of enabling the organisation to be a "healthy" place to work and can help to deliver results to the bottom line

We have been developing a new tool called “The Organisational Health Profile” and are in the final stages of establishing its validity. If you have a group or area of your business where you think there may be “unhealthy” pressures, please ask the people involved to anonymously complete a profile. We will then send you a summary of the results at no cost.
