Stress and poor leadership cost UK businesses over £45 billion per year in absenteeism, presenteeism, and turnover (Deloitte, 2020). Despite this, many organisations lack a way to track the effectiveness of wellbeing or leadership investments.

The RII solves this problem by linking human outcomes with business results — showing clearly how resilience and leadership growth translate into improved retention, engagement, and productivity.

The Index tracks ten interconnected dimensions of resilience, leadership, and workplace wellbeing:

1. Stress Load – how heavy pressure feels day to day
2. Stress Coping – ability to manage and recover from stress
3. Emotional Regulation – composure, adaptability, clarity under pressure
4. Energy & Motivation – vitality, drive, and sustainable effort
5. Confidence – belief in ability to influence, decide, and achieve goals
6. Self-Leadership – accountability, ownership, and self-motivation
7. Relational Leadership – trust, collaboration, handling conflict, inspiring others
8. Workplace Satisfaction – fulfilment, meaning, fairness, role satisfaction
9. Workplace Support – backing from managers, peers, and organisation
10. Strategic Leadership – clarity, delegation, vision for long-term impact

Together, these strands provide a whole-system picture of both personal resilience and organisational health.

• Baseline – Participants complete the RII before starting a programme, establishing a clear starting point
• Midpoint – Optional check-in survey shows progress during the programme.
• Endpoint – Final RII survey measures overall change.
• Follow-up – Organisations can opt for a 6–24 month follow-up to track sustained impact.

• Receive a confidential personal report, highlighting strengths and areas for growth.
• Use results to focus coaching sessions and track progress over time.
• Data is private: only the participant sees their individual results.

• Receive anonymised dashboards showing aggregated trends across all participants.
• Dashboards link human progress with measurable business impact (e.g. reduced stress load, improved confidence, stronger leadership behaviours).
• Reports are GDPR-compliant and designed to be board-ready, making ROI easy to demonstrate.

The RII draws on decades of evidence from occupational psychology, resilience science, and leadership. research. 

As we deliver more programmes, the RII will be continuously updated with live client data — making your organisation part of a cutting-edge benchmark in workplace transformation.
