In short

An engagement survey does not measure well-being. Use a psychosocial risk survey such as iWorkHealth to find what at work is causing stress, and PRISM to check whether your organisation has the systems to manage it.

An engagement survey measures how committed and satisfied people are with their job and the company. A psychosocial risk survey, such as the WSH Council’s iWorkHealth, measures which parts of work are causing stress. An engagement survey cannot replace it.

iWorkHealth or PRISM?

You can do both, as they answer different questions.

iWorkHealth PRISM
What it measures Which parts of work are causing stress for employees Whether your organisation has the systems to manage those risks, across seven areas
Who answers Employees, anonymously Champions only: the People Leader and Safety Leader, each separately
Who runs it The WSH Council Kaleidoscope Labs
Cost Free Free
Who gets the report Whoever set up the survey. With the full version, each employee also gets a private report Whoever completed the assessment
What comes next An invitation to an iWorkHealth Action Workshop A deep dive on the areas that need most attention, then an invitation to a PRISM Action Workshop

What to do

  1. Use the data you already have first
  2. Only run a survey when you are ready to act on it If staff fill in a survey and see nothing happen, fewer of them will respond next time.
  3. Use iWorkHealth Lite between full surveys It takes less of staff’s time.
  4. Share the results with staff, along with your plan.
  5. Follow up on what has changed

Watch out for

  • A high engagement score does not mean staff are well, as engaged staff can still be overloaded or burning out.
