COPSOQ (Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire) is the scientifically validated standard instrument for psychosocial risk assessments. It is operated by FFAW GmbH in Freiburg. The process includes surveying | external analysis by FFAW and reporting. Derivation of measures | individual employee support and occupational health and safety measures are not components of the instrument.
COPSOQ is the scientific gold standard for the survey phase of the psychosocial risk assessment. With 630,000+ data points in its reference database, the instrument is scientifically robust. Everything that comes afterwards sits fully with HR: planning measures | individual support | implementation | effectiveness monitoring. Typical lead time is several weeks.
Research institutions and companies that need the highest scientific validity and external benchmarking against a large reference database and accept several weeks of lead time as well as full HR responsibility for measures.
COPSOQ ends with the report. mentalport starts there: automated measures at organizational and individual level directly after the survey | individual employee support without HR coordination | real-time dashboard. Lead time in hours rather than weeks. Mentalport also uses validated survey instruments (MOLA | KFZA | COPSOQ).

COPSOQ is the benchmark survey tool for scientific validity in assessing psychosocial stress at work. mentalport is built for operational steering. The two are not mutually exclusive: mentalport can be configured with COPSOQ instruments and then automates the measures that COPSOQ leaves manual. COPSOQ as a questionnaire does not replace the qualitative component of the survey, which otherwise has to be carried out manually through facilitated workshops - something mentalport automates.
