PRA

Since 2013, every employer in Germany has been obliged to carry out a risk assessment that takes into account psychological risks in the workplace (PRA) (Section 5 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act). Failure to do so may result in penalties (including those imposed by the trade supervisory office). The German Occupational Health and Safety Act also prescribes a concrete derivation of measures from the results obtained (§4 ArbSchG), as well as the obligation to document the results, the measures carried out and their effectiveness (§6 ArbSchG).

Wondering how it’s all going to work? SALUTION will be happy to support you! We conduct the PGB on the basis of the MEHQ (Munich Employee Health Questionnaire) developed by Bettina Zweck (http://www.mehq.de). According to its psychometric properties, the MEHQ is the best instrument to date for measuring psychological risks.
The results are documented in a clear format. If desired, we also conduct action workshops and monitor the effectiveness of the measures via a short PULSE survey.

Prediction Module

Through a short employee survey, SALUTION can predict your employees’ health status, turnover intention, and stress levels in the coming year. The results clearly show where you should start to improve the health of your employees, reduce unwanted turnover and minimize the consequences of stress.

In just one value, SALUTION shows you the level of stress for the entire company or individual teams in the areas of “health”, “willingness to change” and “stress level” and allows you to classify them as “healthy”, “neutral” or “at risk”. At the same time, our results reports allow you to see at a glance which aspects you need to address in order to reduce future costs due to absenteeism or unwanted fluctuation.

Manager Module

Due to their special (sandwich) position, managers experience a very specific strain that has not been adequately captured in existing questionnaires to date. For this reason, Bettina Zweck developed a questionnaire module specifically for measuring the working conditions of managers as part of her doctorate and validated it using more than 1,000 respondents from a representative sample (www.mehq.de).

The executive module shows a significant relationship with stress levels, health status, and turnover intention of managers. It can be ordered as a stand-alone module or in combination with the PRA or the prediction module.

In addition to the PRA surveys, the prediction module and the manager module, we offer you further service packages that you can combine according to your needs. We accompany you even if you have not conducted a survey in advance.

Survey of your employees

You determine the focus of your employee survey. We offer the following survey modules:

  • Psychological risk assessment (PRA): 59 questions with a survey time of approx. 12 minutes
  • Survey with prediction module: 24 questions with approx. 5-10 minutes survey time
  • Survey with manager module: 11 questions with approx. 5 minutes survey time

Each module in itself is a valid measuring instrument and delivers business-relevant results. Likewise, for all survey options, we offer a PULSE survey of approximately 3 minutes survey duration, which can be used to verify the effectiveness of the measures taken. Our surveys are based on the MEHQ questionnaire developped specifically for the PRA (www.mehq.de), based on Bettina Zweck’s dissertationhttps://edoc.ub.uni-muenchen.de/21057/

We activate the module you want, provide the survey link and accompany the survey. After carrying out each survey, you will receive a short, clear and action-oriented results report.

Presentation of results

We will present the results of the employee survey in a results presentation. There will be room for questions and discussion. We are also happy to advise you on next steps. The presentation of results usually takes place online, but we are happy to come to you on request. The target group is all persons involved in the PRA. It has proven to be a good idea to invite managers to the presentation of results.

Workshops

In an action workshop (e.g. following a PRA), we work with employees to derive measures based on the results of the employee survey and define areas of action and responsibilities. We usually conduct action workshops at your company, but we are also happy to conduct hybrid or purely virtual workshops on request.

  • Duration of workshop: 3 hours
  • Number of participants: 4 up to max. 16
  • Procedure: Presentation of team-specific results (if available), definition of fields of action, development of measures, moderated specification of measures
  • Output: Excel document with causes of stress and measures that can be implemented either by the team itself, the manager or at a higher level.

Coaching

As an option, we offer coaching sessions as a follow-up to the employee survey – optionally for individual employeesmanagers or teams. The survey results already provide initial indications of these points at which coaching can be useful in terms of behavioral prevention.
