About Stress

If an organisation could minimise the negative aspects of stress in the workplace and help to positively channel the energy of those employees who seem to "thrive on stress," how much more productive would the organisation be?

That's the concept behind Pro-Active StressCheck™, an assessment tool that encourages people to become active agents in coping with unavoidable pressures. Based on research that began in 1982 with thousands of individuals, it has been a powerful instrument for companies that promote wellness and want people to attain a level of optimal human performance.

What is Pro-Active Stresscheck™?

Pro-Active Stresscheck™ is an online questionnaire designed to provide people with a relative barometer of their responses to stressful situations. The report, which is 10-20 pages in length, is an analysis of four areas of stress, and one good news stress indicator:

  • Elevated Physical reactions (i.e. rapid heart rate)
  • Lowered Physical reactions (i.e. lethargy)
  • Elevated Psychological reactions (i.e. thoughts racing)
  • Lowered Psychological reactions (i.e. depression)
  • Optimal Human Performance (i.e. the "good stress" factor)

The Pro-Active StressCheck is one of the only instruments in the marketplace that accounts for both elevated and lowered responses to stress on both physical and psychological scales, and is the only instrument in the marketplace measuring five important scales within the same instrument. It can be used along with medical, non-medical, and alternative approaches to health care, and assists both the practitioner and the participant in being active-agents in the pursuit of Optimal Human Performance.

Reports include non-medical tools for decreasing the negative effects of stress responses and provide specific action plans, unique to each person, based on their specific score set.

This instruments can be used in the following training contexts:

  • Personal Development

What outcomes are fulfilled by Pro-Active Stresscheck™?

Pro-Active StressCheck is a robust, but low-cost assessment tool that can be used for all employees at all levels. Use the results to encourage the formation of groups based on similar scores who work together on stress management. After 6-9 months, a re-check shows an amazing difference.

Management groups in particular will rave about Pro-Active StressCheck. These are the people who live with continual awareness of their deliverables, goals, and plans. Yet most of their available time at work is consumed by meetings, interruptions, and putting out fires. They are stressed! This tool can help them learn what they can do to reduce stress responses and how to direct positive stress responses in a productive way.

What is special and unique about Pro-Active Stresscheck™?

Other stress assessments do not address the three important areas of:

  • Lowered Physical reactions (i.e. lethargy)
  • Lowered Psychological reactions (i.e. depression)
  • Optimal Human Performance (i.e. the "good stress" factor)

If a company decides to offer a "stress check" to employees, it should be comprehensive.
