The modern workplace presents a variety of demands that can impact your mental well-being—such as high workload, low autonomy, strained relationships, or job insecurity. This self-assessment helps you reflect on how psychosocial factors at work may be influencing your stress levels and overall well-being. It is intended as a tool for self-awareness and early support—not a diagnostic instrument.

Read each statement and rate how much it applies to your experience at work over the past few weeks. Choose the option that best reflects your experience:

My workload is too heavy to manage effectively.

I often work under high time pressure or urgency.

My job requires constant attention, multitasking, or remembering complex details.  

 I have limited say in how my work is structured or carried out.

I do not receive sufficient recognition or appreciation at work.   

I feel I am treated unfairly or without respect in my workplace.

My supervisor avoids or mismanages team conflicts.   

I often feel emotionally drained or mentally exhausted by the end of the workday.

I feel insecure about my job or fear sudden, unwanted changes in responsibilities.   

My job negatively affects my ability to maintain personal or family life.

You appear to be managing workplace demands well, with minimal impact on your mental well-being. Continue to nurture the positive aspects of your work environment. Continue healthy routines, stay connected with supportive colleagues, and regularly check in with yourself to sustain this balance.  

Some challenges in your work environment may be starting to affect your stress levels. Take time to reflect on specific sources of strain. Small adjustments—like setting clearer boundaries, prioritizing tasks, or seeking feedback—can make a difference. Consider consulting with a manager or accessing EAP services for early support.

MODERATE

Your responses suggest that workplace factors are significantly contributing to stress or emotional exhaustion. Don’t ignore these warning signs. Reach out for support—talk to your supervisor, HR, or an EAP counselor. It may be helpful to reassess your workload, clarify expectations, or explore changes to protect your mental health and performance.
