Persometrics for organisations

Give every employee a confidential, personalised stress report.

Persometrics combines psychometric questionnaires with biomarker analysis to provide employees with personalised insights, while offering employers anonymous organisational trends where participation levels are sufficient to protect privacy.

How it works

One confidential report for every participating employee

The organisation purchases reports for its employees. Each employee then completes the assessment privately and receives their own personalised results.

  1. 1

    The organisation purchases reports

    Persometrics offers volume-based pricing for employers wishing to provide reports to multiple employees.

  2. 2

    Employees complete questionnaires

    Each participant completes the psychometric questionnaires privately.

  3. 3

    Employees collect saliva samples at home

    Samples are collected according to the instructions supplied with the test kit.

  4. 4

    Biomarkers are analysed in Switzerland

    Biomarker analyses are performed by accredited Swiss laboratory partners.

  5. 5

    Persometrics combines both data sources

    Psychometric and biomarker data are brought together to generate a personalised stress report.

Employee

Confidential personalised report

Each employee receives their own report, including personalised interpretation and practical lifestyle recommendations.

Only the employee receives individual results.

Employer

Optional anonymous organisational insights

Where participation is sufficiently high, the employer may receive aggregated group-level trends.

No individual employee results are disclosed.

Aggregated organisational reporting is available only where participant numbers are sufficient to protect anonymity.

The Persometrics approach

Psychometric and biomarker data brought together

Persometrics combines psychometric data obtained from questionnaires with biomarker results to generate a confidential, personalised stress report for each participating employee.

Confidential by design

Individual results are not shared with the employer

Persometrics separates individual employee reporting from any organisational insights provided to the employer.

Aggregated organisational reporting is offered only where the number of participating employees is sufficient to protect anonymity.

Path analysis of measurable factors contributing to workplace burnout

Workplace stress has organisational consequences

Workplace stress can contribute to sickness absence, reduced wellbeing and employee turnover. Excessive workloads and workplace pressure are among the factors associated with stress-related absence.

In Switzerland, workplace stress remains an important occupational health issue. Swiss research has documented substantial levels of work-related stress and associated effects on employee wellbeing.

These effects may contribute to absence, reduced productivity and difficulties with staff retention, with consequences for both employees and organisations.

Understanding burnout

Burnout is a well-known occupational phenomenon associated with chronic workplace stress and can have significant consequences for employees, employers and their families. Although some professions may be particularly affected, burnout is not limited to specific industries.

High workloads, unmet expectations, feeling underappreciated and limited control over one's work are among the workplace factors that have been associated with burnout.

Why employees respond differently

People do not all respond to stress in the same way. A certain level of challenge can be motivating for one person while similar circumstances may be experienced as excessive pressure by another.

For instance, regular meetings with a manager may help one employee stay organised and focused. For another employee who is more prone to anxiety, the same meetings may become a recurring source of pressure and worry.

An identical management approach can therefore have different effects depending on the individual and the circumstances.

Why questionnaires and biomarkers matter

Psychometric questionnaires can help explore individual differences by measuring factors such as perceived stress, coping style, behaviour, lifestyle and personality traits.

Biomarkers can provide additional information about physiological processes associated with the stress response. Persometrics combines both sources of information to generate a confidential, personalised stress report for each participating employee.

Individual questionnaire and biomarker results are not disclosed to the employer. Where participation levels are sufficient to protect anonymity, employers may also receive aggregated organisational insights that cannot be linked to individual employees.
