Cadenza stress assessments are for anyone concerned about the impact that stress may have on their health and who wants to be proactive in taking preventative measures.
Stress can have a profound effect on employees. Many working days can be lost if early warning symptoms are ignored.
By using Cadenza stress assessments a company can identify and pro-actively implement our stress intervention programmes in a targeted manner. This will reduce absenteeism resulting in a healthier workforce, an increase in productivity and performance as well as a reduction in healthcare premiums and costs.
