The manual explains the purpose of HSE’s Management Standards Indicator Tool – a 35‑item questionnaire that measures how well an organisation manages work‑related stress. It describes how the tool can be used alone or incorporated into existing staff surveys, and recommends using the accompanying Analysis Tool to score responses.
The guide covers practical aspects such as achieving a good response rate, selecting a representative sample, distributing the questionnaire, and interpreting results. Appendices provide a sample covering letter and a checklist of steps for using the Indicator Tool effectively.
