The HCSM product offering consists of two distinct services: Stress Measurement and Stress Management. Within these services we provide various options.
STRESS MEASUREMENT
We measure and determine an individuals stress levels using both Medical and Psychometric testing. Medically we provide a saliva test to determine cortisol levels, and offer a range of more comprehensive blood tests. The results of these tests are interpreted by a reputable pathology company. These tests are usually done at the clients place of work.
The Psychometric tests consist of Lifestyle, Stress, and Burnout tests. These tests are internationally established and accepted.
The results of the Medical and Psychometric tests are combined to provide an individuals stress profile. Based on this profile we are able to determine if they require, and would benefit, from our Stress Management service.
STRESS MANAGEMENT
We provide a Stress Management service to those who require it, based on the results of the testing. Options we provide range from a written report with recomendations, to individual sessions with a proffesional , the creation of a schedule, and the monitoring of the prescribed activities & actions.
Recommendations may include the implementation of professional services such as coaching, psychological counselling, and fitness & dietary specialists. Testing is repeated quarterly to determine the efficacy of the solutions provided.
REPORTING
The results of the Medical and Psychometric tests, are sent to the individual who has completed the tests, these results remain confidential. In the case that the stress levels require management, this information is included in the individuals report.
In the case of a corporate client who is testing their staff, each individual receives their report and the corporate client receives a report which displays the stress levels experienced by the company. These results include both vertical and horizontal representations, and numerical averages. In compliance with the POPI act the individual results remain confidential.
We offer our service as a “once-off” single intervention, and as an ongoing service. In the case of the ongoing service, testing and the collation of results may take place quarterly and the cumulative results will be included with each report. This will include the data on the effectiveness of the stress management solutions that have been implemented.
