We run psychological risk assessments for companies: data safe, legally compliant, scientifically grounded.
- Risk assessment
- Social health
- Guidance and workshops
Did you know this is your duty?
Every employer in Germany must assess psychological strain at work, document the result and the measures, and review whether they worked. (§ 5 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act)
Social Health Hub does it for you.

What it costs you today
Without us, HR has to …
- read its way into the rules
- write its own questionnaire
- organise the survey
- analyse the results
- derive the measures
Our solution does this
- personal onboarding
- validated questionnaires
- results at team level
- documentation for the inspection
- recommendations and a results workshop
How it runs
-
1
Kickoff
We agree the teams, the schedule and the internal communication together.
-
2
Survey
We run the survey and chase the responses. Anonymous, about ten minutes per person.

Results and coaching
You get the results, the documentation and the recommendations, and we talk them through in a results workshop.
This is what the result looks like.
Real screens, invented data. You can click through them.
The teams are set up and the people entered. Names and addresses stay in HR's browser.
| Team | People | State |
|---|---|---|
| Sales | 6 | Ready |
| Finance | 4 | Too small to report on its own |
| Operations | 12 | Ready |
| Customer care | 8 | Ready |
| Product | 9 | Ready |
Anonymous, and you can check it.
People answer honestly only when nobody can trace the answer back.
Leadership sees
- Results per team, only from five answers on
- A band and a mean per area
- Free-text answers anonymously, in random order
Leadership never sees
- Individual answers
- Who answered and who did not
- When somebody answered
What we are asked most
Which companies does the duty apply to?
Every employer in Germany, from the first employee. We work with companies of 11 employees and up.
Does it apply to every industry?
Yes. The assessment follows the kind of work, not the industry.
How often does it have to be done?
The law sets no fixed interval. It is updated when the work changes and reviewed regularly. Many companies repeat it once a year.
Our health insurer offers something. Why Social Health Hub?
Health insurers advise in general terms. We run the assessment: the questionnaire, the survey, the results per team, documentation that stands up to an inspection, and a joint results workshop. At the end the document an inspection asks for is on the table.
What about the works council?
The assessment is subject to co-determination (§ 87 BetrVG). The method is built for it: results only per team, never per person.
Where does the data live?
In the EU. Each installation belongs to exactly one customer. Answers cannot be traced to a person, not even by us.

LinkedInAs a physician and researcher, among others at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, I know this: good data about the health of teams is valuable, but costly to collect. So we take that on and accompany you personally, so that a legal duty turns into real insight for healthy teams.
Let's talk about your teams.
We come back personally with an offer for your company.
