What is a Stress Risk Assessment?
What is a Stress Risk Assessment?
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) outlines six key areas that can lead to work-related stress: demands, control, support, relationships, role, and change. A stress risk assessment explores how these factors are showing up in your workplace — and helps you put thoughtful, proportionate steps in place to improve them.
If you employ five or more people, you’re legally required to carry out and document risk assessments — including those for stress. But this isn’t just about compliance; it’s about care. A well-done assessment can improve morale, reduce absence, and show your people that you take their wellbeing seriously.

What others have to say
What others have to say
We have worked with Ellice for several years both whilst she was a freelance consultant and also after she set up Mindset. Ellice has been a fantastic support to our business helping to advise on and implement our mental health and wellbeing strategy which has had a very positive impact on the wellbeing of our colleagues. Ellice has provided fantastic advice and insight and been an enormous support to our colleagues and we consistently received positive feedback.
I recently attended a webinar hosted by Ellice and I loved it, Ellice was so relatable in her delivery and content. The webinar gave me so many tips and tricks to manage stressful and anxious situations, the tips and tricks were small, manageable and more importantly I actually understood them. I can’t emphasise enough how good Ellice’s delivery was, I’ve been to a lot of wellbeing webinars in the last few years, and this was easily the best one!!!
