Why do it

the law requires it.the data shows why.

Every employer must identify and assess workplace risks, including the ones you cannot see. Across the EU this comes from Framework Directive 89/391/EEC; in Czechia from Section 101 of the Labour Code and Act No. 309/2006.

We don’t do the survey to fill a drawer. We do it so leadership knows where strain comes from, which teams are most at risk and where to act first.

Each area has three to five sub-topics, so you see whether it is the volume of work, unrealistic targets or admin. Open questions and experience of inappropriate behaviour complete the picture.

Built on proven methods

validated tools.not our own theories.

01COPSOQ IIICopenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire, the world’s most widely used tool for psychosocial risk, validated on a Czech sample.
02HSE Management StandardsThe UK standard of six areas employers must manage to prevent work-related stress.
03ISO 45003:2021The first international standard for managing psychosocial risk. Our process follows it.
04WHO guidelinesMental health at work, 2022: change conditions first, then train managers, then support individuals.

Our questions are written for real teams, but the structure and scoring stay true to COPSOQ and HSE, so results are comparable with research. Scores run 0–100, higher is always better, and we show the share of unfavourable answers too.

Two surveys

choose what to map.

psychosocial risks.

How employees cope with the demands of work, relationships, leadership and the balance between work and life.

  • 20–25 minutes, for all employees
  • Eight areas, three to five sub-topics each
  • Risk map by site, area and level
8 areasone map

informal care.

Many employees care for a parent, partner or child without anyone at work knowing. Map it before it turns into resignations.

  • 10–12 minutes, for employees who care for someone
  • Four carer profiles, from latent to crisis
  • Expert guarantee: Sluchátko therapeutic helpline
01LatentCare is occasional. Information is enough.
02StableRegular and manageable. Flexibility is key.
03OverloadedFatigue grows. An individual agreement helps.
04CrisisRisk of burnout or leaving. Act now.
How it runs

seven steps.from preparation to measures.

The process follows the risk-assessment cycle of ISO 45003 and HSE. About two months, three with site visits.

  1. 1weeks 1–2PreparationGoals, structure and languages. No personal data, only headcounts per site.
  2. 2week 2Internal communicationEmails, a poster with a QR code and a guide for managers. A personal message from leadership is key.
  3. 3weeks 3–5Data collectionThe survey is open for three weeks, 20–25 minutes on computer or phone. Target: over 60 % response.
  4. 4optional, weeks 5–8Site visits and interviewsGroup and individual interviews and observation at selected sites.
  5. 5weeks 6–7AnalysisQuality checks, area scores, group comparisons and a risk map with recommendations.
  6. 6week 8Presentation and measuresWe walk leadership through the results. Employees hear what will happen next.
  7. 7after 6–12 monthsChecking it worksPulse surveys at the riskiest sites show whether the measures are working.
Data quality

five checks.before a single number reaches you.

1 of 5Response rateParticipation by group, target over 60 %.
2 of 5Answer validityControl items, speed and straight-lining catch careless answers.
3 of 5Scale reliabilityCronbach’s alpha, target over 0.7.
4 of 5RepresentativenessRespondents compared with the workforce. Under-represented groups are flagged.
5 of 5TriangulationInterviews and hard data such as turnover and overtime.
Anonymity

anonymity is not a formality.it is what makes the data true.

People answer honestly only when they trust that nobody can identify them.

  • Participation is voluntary. The employer never sees individual questionnaires or open answers.
  • No names, emails, IP addresses or exact times. No personal links or logins.
  • Results only for groups of at least 7. Smaller groups are merged, even when they could be worked out by subtraction.
  • Open answers are shared only as themed summaries with paraphrases.
  • Processed under GDPR on servers in the EU and irreversibly deleted after the project.
The survey is the start

findings are only usefulif something happens next.

As the largest employee assistance programme in Czechia and Slovakia, we can act on the results straight away: psychologist consultations, manager training and prevention programmes. A year later we measure what changed.

Questions

questions HR teams ask.

How long does the survey take?

About two months from preparation to presentation, or three with site visits. Each employee needs 20–25 minutes and can pause and come back.

Will we see individual answers?

Never. You see results only for groups of at least seven people, and open answers only as themed summaries.

Can you handle several countries and languages?

Yes. Languages and countries are agreed in the preparation phase, and results can be compared across countries and sites.

Does the survey help us meet the legal duty to assess risks?

It gives you the evidence and a record you can use for occupational health and safety, including during a labour inspection.

What if the results show a serious problem?

We help right away: psychologist consultations, manager training and targeted prevention, and a pulse survey later to check that it works.
