The quality of the psychosocial work environment over the last six months, in the seven areas that HSE's Management Standards treat as the main sources of work-related stress: demands, control, manager support, peer support, relationships, role and change. It is built for organisational assessment: the staff average shows where the organisation meets each standard and where to act.
HSE sets no individual cut-off: each area mean runs from 1 (poor) to 5 (the standard is fully met) and is interpreted for the organisation. HSE's Analysis Tool compares the organisation's means with national reference data; Houdmont (2025) notes that the published reference data (Edwards & Webster, 2012) are dated and that tracking the organisation against itself over repeated surveys is safer.

Thirty-five items in seven areas: demands 8, control 6, manager support 5, peer support 4, relationships 4, role 5 and change 3; each area is scored as a mean between 1 and 5.
The twelve negative items: all demands items (3, 6, 9, 12, 16, 18, 20, 22) and relationships items (5, 14, 21, 34). In this template they are already reversed.
Good. In every area, including demands, a higher score means better working conditions and fewer sources of stress.
Researchers built a short version by removing 10 items; it is not on HSE's website. This template is HSE's full 35-item tool.
