ASSET for INDIVIDUAL

ASSET is a market-leading well-being and stress risk assessment tool that can help you to meet the HSE Management Standards. It enables you to assess the aspects of working life that block or enable individual performance - the things that impact the factors by which businesses measure their success.

Research shows that organisations that instil a sense of purpose, engagement and well-being in their workforce deliver higher productivity, better customer satisfaction, higher staff retention and lower sickness absence. ASSET helps you to understand whether you are managing the real drivers of success effectively.

The ASSET questionnaire is completed online and measures an individual or group perception of what it feels like to work in the organisation.

ASSET can measure:

• Sources of pressure
• Levels of positive psychological well-being
• Levels of productivity
• Feelings about relationships with others
• Risks to physical health and psychological well-being
• Feelings of commitment to the organisation that will influence retention rates
• Levels of engagement, including motivation and effort
• Example scales (jpg, 71.3KB)

ASSET for Individuals - the Work Well Report

ASSET is available as an individual assessment of stress and well-being that can be used as the basis of either welfare of developmental interventions. The ASSET Work Well report starts by highlighting how well a person is coping with various work pressures. It then provides insights into the impact that this is having on commitment to the organisation and both psychological and physical health.

ASSET for Organisations and Groups

ASSET was also designed for auditing well-being and stress as part of your organisational risk assessment process. By undertaking an ASSET risk assessment survey you are complying with the government's guidelines on stress management in the workplace, but also laying the foundations for reaping the benefits of higher levels of well-being in the workplace.

By measuring the real sources of pressure in your organisation, you can target your resources more effectively to remove the blockers and enhance the enablers of well-being.
