Psychological risk assessment: much more than an employee survey

Tim Kleber
Nov 2025

The days of neglecting mental health in the workplace are gone. More and more companies recognize the importance of psychological risk assessment, which goes far beyond a conventional employee survey. This assessment is not only a legal obligation, but also an opportunity to increase employee well-being and strengthen corporate culture.

Why a psychological risk assessment?

In today's labor-intensive world, psychological stress is omnipresent. The factors range from high work pressure to unclear role expectations and a poor working environment. Such stressors can not only impair individual performance but also lead to serious health problems. It is therefore crucial to act proactively and carry out a comprehensive psychological risk assessment.

The complexity of mental risk assessment

In contrast to conventional employee surveys, psychological risk assessment goes far beyond superficial questions about satisfaction. It analyses in detail the various aspects of work that can have an impact on mental health. This includes work organization, communication structures, leadership behavior and much more. This in-depth analysis enables companies to take targeted measures to improve working conditions.

Strengthen employees and protect companies

Promoting the mental health of employees is not only an ethical imperative, but also in the company's interest. Healthy and satisfied employees make a significant contribution to increasing productivity, reducing absences of illness and improving the working climate. Psychological risk assessment is thus becoming a powerful tool for creating a sustainable and successful company in the long term.
