You can’t manage risks you can’t see.
Stress has become normalised in the workplace, hiding risks until absence, burnout or poor performance make them impossible to ignore.
Under health and safety law, you must assess and manage work-related stress risks.
Cari makes it easier for everyone. Our award-winning platform identifies the hidden risks, helps you and your managers to understand what’s driving them and take action, before problems escalate.
And there’s much more. Cari delivers finance-grade people data – covering engagement, wellbeing, culture, psychosocial risk, and more – and the ability to drive more ROI from the employee benefits you already provide.
See what standard workplace assessments and surveys miss.
First developed in 1997 by occupational psychologist Maria Paviour, Cari draws on decades of psychology and neuroscience. Even the way questions are asked is carefully designed to reveal patterns of thinking, feeling and behaviour that people may not recognise themselves.
Cari’s approach predates the HSE Management Standards for work-related stress. Yet its five pillars, covering support, coping and resilience, relationships, role and performance, and happiness and health, closely align with the areas those standards address.
And Cari goes further, exploring how people respond and adapt to workplace pressures, including stress they have come to accept as normal.
The result is that you get a deeper understanding of how people are really doing, revealing hidden stress risks and opportunities to improve wellbeing and performance.
People rate the accuracy of their Cari analysis at 96%.
Trusted by leaders.
From individual teams to your whole organisation.
The HSE expects you to take a proactive, preventative approach to workplace stress, identifying risks before people become unwell, involving people in finding solutions, and monitoring whether action is working.
Employee assistance programmes and wellbeing benefits provide valuable support, but you must also address the workplace pressures causing harm.
Cari makes this easier at every level. Cari Essential puts practical risk management into managers’ hands. Cari Intelligence takes this further, helping HR and senior leaders identify risks across teams, roles and departments, understand their causes, and make informed decisions about where action is needed.
And beyond compliance, you gain finance-grade intelligence on wellbeing, engagement, culture and performance, with fully filterable reports updated in real time.
