POSITIVE RESULTS OF THE MSIT
Explain the positive results of the study.
o As I’m sure you are aware you were asked to complete two
questionnaires either online or via hard copy. The point of these
were to:
o Assess what areas of the workplace are working best with
respect to stress, as well as those areas that aren’t working
quite as well.
o Assess the impact, if any, that this stress has had on your
overall mental health.
o The results of the first questionnaire, which looked at how 7 areas of
the workplace are performing, showed that you have good levels of
‘control’ and good ‘relationships’.
o In other words, you have a good amount of say in the work
that you perform and you work well with colleagues, with little
conflict between employees or bad behaviour from
colleagues/management.
