Know where pressure sits before you act on it.
A scoped, paid organisational assessment that locates where sustained pressure is reducing capacity, judgement and retention, and what it is likely to be costing. It is the Assess stage of APEX, and the evidence base for every recommendation that follows.
Organisations planning action
That want to direct budget at causes rather than symptoms.
Leaders facing a specific signal
Rising turnover, uneven absence or recurring workload concerns that need explaining.
Boards seeking assurance
That people risk is understood and being managed with evidence.
If several of these sound familiar, pressure is already costing you.
- 01You are about to invest in wellbeing provision without a clear diagnosis
- 02Survey results tell you something is wrong but not where or why
- 03Different teams describe the same organisation very differently
- 04You need an evidence base before restructuring or a period of change
- 05Your obligations on work related stress need a structured response
- 06Leadership disagrees on how serious the pressure really is
Without assessment, organisations tend to respond to the most visible symptom. The result is activity that feels supportive but leaves the causes of lost performance in place.
The assessment gives leadership a shared, evidenced view of where pressure is concentrated, which conditions drive it and which actions are likely to matter most. It draws on the HSE Management Standards and says plainly where the evidence is limited.
Leadership interviews
Confidential conversations to understand strategy, pressure points and existing evidence.
Workforce pressure survey
A structured survey aligned to the HSE Management Standards, reported only at group sizes that protect anonymity.
Data review
Absence, turnover and workload information you already hold, analysed for concentration and trend.
Operating conditions review
Meeting load, demand peaks, role clarity and change history in the areas of greatest concern.
Concrete deliverables, once scope is agreed
- Assessment report locating pressure by team, role or function
- Estimated operational and commercial exposure, with assumptions stated
- Prioritised recommendations with suggested owners
- Executive presentation and discussion of findings
- Proposed baseline indicators for evaluating any action taken
- 1
Initial conversation
We discuss your situation and whether an assessment is appropriate. The conversation is not the assessment and produces no formal findings.
- 2
Written scope
If an assessment fits, we propose coverage, methods, data needs, outputs and fees in writing.
- 3
Agreed assessment
Paid work begins only once scope and outputs are agreed. Timings depend on organisation size and are confirmed in the scope.
- The assessment is organisational, not a clinical or individual health assessment
- We do not request individual health records and report only aggregated results
- It does not replace a legal or occupational health risk assessment
- It informs decisions; it does not guarantee a particular outcome
Please do not send individual health records or employee identifiers by WhatsApp.
No. The initial conversation explores whether an assessment is appropriate. The assessment itself is a scoped, paid piece of work agreed in writing.
Start with an initial conversation.
Bring the main business pressure, the teams affected and any absence, turnover or workload evidence you have. We will explore whether an organisational assessment is appropriate and, if so, agree scope and outputs before any paid work.
