The EHO method lives inside a software platform. That is where your company builds the structure, applies the diagnostic, reads the results and documents every step — with the integrity that labour inspection and the courts demand. This is not a climate survey form. It is a psychosocial risk management system, from questionnaire to technical report.
You draw the company tree — units, departments, sub-departments — and place people in it. That structure is what distributes the survey and organises the results.
The system generates single-use anonymous access. Each employee answers via link or QR code, without identifying themselves at any point. There are 61 questions establishing the frequency of facts — not opinion, not feeling. They portray the environment.
The Intelligence Centre opens the reading in layers: the 12 dimensions, the IPP · IRP · EDO · IGP indices, the risk matrix, the macro-vectors and the organisational phenomena detected. Each layer of data analysis has its own function and utility.
Each phenomenon detected becomes a prioritised action. The manager can identify where action is needed to correct the environment and prevent or address psychosocial risks.
In the next survey cycle, the system compares before and after, measuring the effectiveness of the actions. It is the proof of continuous evolution that NR-1 requires — not a snapshot, but a living follow-up.
A psychosocial diagnostic only protects you if nobody can claim it was manipulated. That is why the platform was built on four integrity guarantees:
The system never knows who answered. The questionnaire does not identify anyone. The system does not allow generating sectors with fewer than 5 people, so that no response can be attributed to an individual. The fear of answering — which distorts any survey — disappears.
The moment the survey is launched, the structure, the method version and the universe of invitees are frozen. Nothing can be altered during or after collection. The result is a faithful portrait of what was answered. The questionnaire cannot be altered either.
Every stage is recorded: date, time, versioned structure, number of participants. The trail is auditable from start to finish.
External reports for use in audits and actions that represent 51% or more of the total employees (majority) receive a unique identification and integrity code that guarantees their authenticity and content.
In EHO, no result appears out of nowhere. There is a chain linking each recommendation back to the question that produced it:
You can start from any action in the plan and trace it back to the specific questions that generated it. That traceability is what separates a technical diagnostic from an impression — and it is what holds the report up in front of an auditor or a court-appointed expert.
The same diagnostic produces different documents depending on who will read them — and the confidentiality level adjusts the content:
For HR and leadership. The full view: every dimension, probable causes, detailed phenomena and the action plan. This is the working basis for correction.
For the board and directors. A consolidated view by unit and macro-vector, with trends and strategic priorities.
For auditors, court-appointed experts and labour inspection. The corporate consolidation: macro-vectors, indices, methodology and evidence of compliance. Aggregation preserves anonymity and delivers exactly what the standard asks for.
Primacy of reality: although no report, neither from this system nor any other, can guarantee that its content will be accepted by the authorities, the solid principle that guides the Labour Court is the Primacy of Reality. The EHO Method of psychosocial diagnosis is entirely based on this and, combined with data integrity, should provide a solid portrait of the work environment and, with that, a high probability of legal and regulatory acceptance.
The strength of a diagnostic depends on how many people took part. A report based on few respondents does not represent the environment — and will not survive challenge.
That is why EHO only grants the EHO Certification — the representative-sample seal — to reports that reach the required minimum participation. That seal is what distinguishes a document with compliance value from a simple preliminary reading.
For labour claims, Ministério Público do Trabalho (Brazil's labour prosecution service) inquiries or expert examinations ordered by a judge, the platform generates an Expert Evidence Pack — a set of hash-authenticated PDFs. It brings together the questionnaire as applied, the aggregated and anonymous results, the methodological record, the application log and the integrity certificate.
And there is one feature that makes that confidence tangible: public authenticity verification. Anyone — an expert, a judge, the opposing party — can enter a report code and confirm, with no login, that it is authentic and unaltered. The proof verifies itself.
The EHO dimensions speak to the established scientific models of psychosocial risk. But they go beyond them at one decisive point: whereas international instruments mostly measure individual perceptions of demand, control and support, EHO also measures the organisation of work — the patterns of management, hierarchy and culture that are the source of the risk.
That is exactly the layer the GRO Manual, citing the literature, recognises as the origin of psychosocial factors. And it is the layer the Brazilian standard requires you to assess. Imported validation is not domestic compliance — EHO was built for the latter.
One survey per month, per company, for up to 100% of employees. Once a cycle is used, the next unlocks in 30 days. Ideal for those who want the continuous monitoring NR-1 asks for.
Each token corresponds to one respondent, and unused tokens accumulate for the next cycle. Ideal for smaller companies. The investment in the system matches the company's needs.
In both models the price accounts for the number of employees and of CNPJs (registered legal entities) — which is why it is quoted to measure. In the monthly access system, the contractor can use the system cyclically, diagnosing the environment, correcting what is necessary and repeating the diagnosis successively. In the token contract, the second cycle, which is to verify whether the corrective measures worked, is free. However, the second cycle must be done within a maximum of 10 (ten) months, so as not to expire in the system.
EHO offers a full 14-day trial — with access to every screen, the gauges, the risk matrix, the macro-vectors and the phenomena, for up to 10 respondents. It is our way of going beyond what the law asks: instead of waiting for a right of withdrawal after purchase, you get to know EHO in full before it — and decide already knowing what you are buying.
