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%.
Reduce your managers’ workloads, and improve your compliance position.
Your managers are on the front line of workplace stress. They’re expected to recognise risks, support their people, maintain performance and meet their health and safety responsibilities, often without the time, tools or information they need.
Cari takes the complexity out of stress risk management. Managers can see hidden and emerging risks instantly, along with what’s driving them and the actions that will make the greatest difference. No complicated analysis or additional administration. Just the intelligence they need to act confidently, before problems escalate.
And when more support is needed, our experts at Maria Paviour’s Optimism Consultancy can help turn intelligence into action – from practical management development to neuroscience-based coaching and wider organisational strategy.
How Cari works
Through secure, confidential online consultations, your people answer questions grounded in neuroscience and psychology. Cari analyses their responses in real time, revealing hidden and emerging stress risks, including those that have become normalised.
Employees receive personalised, immediate support. Managers simply log in to see what’s happening, what’s driving it and where to act, while leaders gain aggregated intelligence to inform strategic decisions.
The result? Less work for managers, earlier intervention and a healthier, higher-performing organisation.
Trusted by leaders.
