Definition
The Stress satisfaction scan is a 6-item employee questionnaire that indicates to what extent our employees report being stressed or satisfied at work.
The results are expressed as a single number ranging from -2 to +2. It represents job stress versus job satisfaction. Positive scores point toward a psychologically safer environment while negative scores suggest a greater risk of harm.
The SSIX represents the responses as they relate to the mental health culture, lower scores reflect a negative mental health culture and higher scores reflect a positive mental health culture.
This information helps identify psychosocial conditions as high, elevated, average or low-risk zones in your workplace.
- Red zone (-2.5 to -0.5) - Higher chance of psychological injury
- Amber zone (-0.49 to 0.0) - Elevated risk of psychological injury
- Yellow zone (+0.01 to +0.49) - Average risk of psychological injury
- Green zone (+0.50 to +2.5) - Low risk of psychological injury
