Psychosocial risk analysis
A psychosocial risk analysis maps which aspects of work cause stress, demotivation or absence. It examines five domains: job content, working conditions, terms of employment, working relations and work organisation. Werkmeter carries out that analysis as an employee survey and goes one step further: the outcome is translated into the design of the organisation itself. You do not end up with a satisfaction score, but with the place in the structure where the friction originates.
Through Werkmeter you probe the work experience and see how adjustments to organisational structure influence it favourably.
In short: structure determines wellbeing at work.
Werkmeter gives you a reliable view of the organisation of work and the job content of employees.
Compared to engagement surveys, Werkmeter is an odd one out because it makes the link between organisational structure and work experience visible. Your organisational structure determines employee behaviour and ensures that they perform okay, well or at their best. Investing in that pays off, and we help you with it.


Werkmeter* is a complete analysis of wellbeing at work. It starts with our employee survey, a questionnaire focused on job content and organisational structure. Both determine how someone feels at work and how well they can perform that work.
By probing the nature and experience of work, you gain insights into stress levels on the shop floor, satisfaction, engagement, collegiality and much more.
After the survey, you receive a detailed analysis that we walk through with you. Armed with Werkmeter insights and our advice, you can work in a targeted way to improve workability in your organisation.
Engaged employees are the basis for a performant organisation. They think along, are flexible and show great collegiality. That's why organisations also invest in team development and coaching skills of leaders. Yet issues like high absenteeism or recurring communication problems often keep coming back. Recognising the symptoms and identifying causes neutrally and accurately is not obvious. Neither is determining which actions to take to improve your organisation.
By revealing the link between organisational structure and work experience, we offer an answer. Werkmeter is the only employee survey that gives insight into both the job content of the employees surveyed and the broader structure of the organisation. And this at individual, team and organisational level. We make structural choices visible and show what effect these choices have on job quality.
Evidence-based
Workitects has been researching work organisation through employee surveys for more than 10 years. We always base ourselves on the most recent scientific insights on workability and organisational structure, approaching this from psychology, organisational sciences and economics.
Extensive practical experience
The development of Werkmeter is the result of years of practical experience. Workitects conducted employee surveys at more than one hundred organisations across all sectors. As a result, we know which input is needed to define effective actions that improve workability.
Full psychosocial risk analysis
The survey and reporting also meet the requirements for a psychosocial risk analysis. A nice 'extra', because Werkmeter of course goes further than that.
Not just another engagement survey
We survey how people experience their work and link it to organisational structure. Werkmeter is the only survey that makes this combination between job design and work organisation insights. Together we make transparent the causes of structural work division at individual, team and organisational level. We attach concrete improvement actions to that, so you can truly work on workability.
Anonymity safeguarded
We attach great importance to respondent anonymity. We therefore never report individual answers, only averages per team or department. In our Privacy Policy you'll find more information on anonymity and privacy.
Yes. Every employer in Belgium has to map psychosocial risks at work and act on them. Werkmeter carries out that analysis as an employee survey, covers the five domains that the law requires and connects the outcome to the organisational structure. You do not get a satisfaction score, but a place to act on.
