Stressor Indicator Survey - Faculty of Environment


*Logo

Main Survey Page

Thank you for sparing a few minutes to complete this survey and helping the University to protect employees from undue stress at work.

The University is working hard to promote a healthy, well-managed work environment and this survey is an important step in understanding how stress affects us all.


The survey is based on questions from the HSE's Stress Management Indicator - an effective and respected test for identifying problems with stress. In order for us to ascertain how we can tackle this important aspect of wellbeing, it is essential that you answer the questions as accurately as possible to reflect your work in the last twelve months.

All the information you give is confidential, so heads of school/service/institute will not have access to data that could identify an individual.





By clicking on the CONTINUE button at the bottom of the page your survey will be submitted. You cannot return to review or amend.
