- the relevance and helpfulness of the Management Standards process, and their organisation's adoption (or planned adoption) of it;
- their perceptions regarding potential barriers to the adoption of the Management Standards within their organisation;
- other stress-related initiatives being implemented, or planned to be implemented, by their organisation;
- perceived actions that HSE could undertake to assist with the adoption of the Management Standards process.
