Work Psychosocial Risk Assessment

Step 1/11 · About you0 of 66 answered0%

Before you start

Not all workplace demands are harmful. High pressure paired with strong autonomy, meaningful work, and adequate recovery can be energising rather than depleting. This assessment measures the balance between your work demands and the resources available to you — not simply whether your job is demanding.

Timeframe: reflect on your typical experience over the past month (4 weeks). If your situation has changed significantly recently, answer based on what has been most consistent for you rather than a single unusual week.
