A recent loss control liability audit recommended we conduct a risk assessment on the stress potential within the organisation. We are a small facility of 32 employees where senior management and other employees often socialise outside work. This makes it difficult for managers to ask intrusive questions also we do have one or two people who given the chance would take the opportunity to stick the knife in so to speak so we need to be careful in our approach . Enquiries so far have suggested a resilience assessment would be appropriate Does anyone have an example or any experience of these.
Any advice would be much appreciated

Hi Sharon

I'd need to know more about your business and industry to offer advice.

An external review which looks at culture/stressors may assist, this can be both individual/team reviews and organisational structure which can alter stress and risk liability. Resilience can be some sort of claims defence audit against a stress case or resilience in terms of individual characteristics and/or business emergency resilience. Pretty broad really.

Happy to give some thoughts if you want to email me via the link.

Cheers

Ian
