When stress has an impact, well-founded decisions and clear responsibility are needed.

Balance helps HR managers and management to professionally classify stress at an early stage - as a sound basis for decision-making for prevention, stabilization and sustainable performance.

Increasing strain, decreasing regeneration or increasing failures often occur gradually and remain blurred for a long time.

Balance translates individual stress into an objective, medically sound basis for decision-making so that companies can take targeted action before risks turn into failures and high consequential costs.

Medically sound - scalable - clear responsibility & data protection

Recognize challenges early - before failures occur

Many organizations are experiencing increasing stress, growing exhaustion, declining performance and growing uncertainty in management and HR. These developments often only become apparent once they have already had a noticeable impact on employees, teams and the company.

Balance creates the basis for making responsible decisions at an early stage - instead of only reacting when failures, fluctuation or high follow-up costs arise.

Balance is aimed at companies that:

  • want to recognize stress-related risks at an early stage,
  • want to preventively strengthen health and performance,
  • look for well-founded bases for decision-making instead of assumptions.

Delimitation: Balance is not a non-binding health offer, a feel-good program or individual coaching. It is a structured, medically based prevention and intervention approach with clear responsibility.

If stress remains unclear for a long time, decisions are often made reactively: Only when absenteeism increases, performance decreases or employees are absent does the pressure to act arise.

Measures are then usually more expensive, less effective and more difficult to implement in organizational terms.

Early medical classification, on the other hand, creates planning security: risks become visible, priorities are clear and interventions can be planned in a targeted and proportionate manner.

Classifying stress medically - a sound basis for decision-making for your company

Balance uses medically established markers to objectively classify stress, regeneration and risks at an early stage - and translates this classification into a clear decision-making basis for HR and management.

This does not produce snapshots, but reliable data on the basis of which prevention, targeted measures and priorities can be sensibly planned.

Among other things, the following are considered for classification:

  • Heart rate variability (HRV) - indicator for regulation and adaptability under stress.
  • Stress hormones (e.g. cortisol) - indications of activation, long-term stress and recovery.
  • Neurotransmitter profiles - indications of regulation patterns in relation to drive, focus and recovery.

These markers are not interpreted in isolation, but are classified in the overall context. This creates a comparable, reliable basis for decision-making for prevention, prioritization and targeted intervention in the company.

What balance makes possible

Balance translates individual stress into business-relevant decision-making principles. This makes health controllable - and prevention effective.

Recognize risks early
Data instead of gut feeling
Structured & scalable
Measurable control of impact
Trust & stability

This provides HR and management with a reliable basis for reducing absences, stabilizing performance and managing health in a targeted manner.

Why Balance is scalable

Balance is structured in such a way that it is not limited to individual measures, but can be effectively anchored in organizations - from pilot project to rollout.

  • Standardized diagnostics & classification
    Defined markers, a clear evaluation process and comparable results create a reliable basis for management and further development.
  • Roller and modular principle
    Medical responsibility, coaching and - where appropriate - therapeutic elements are clearly organized separately, can be combined and are scalable as the scope grows.
  • Effect logic with progression
    Progress can be tracked using defined markers and systematic progress monitoring. This makes the effect visible - and targeted optimization possible.

This means that Balance is not only pilot-capable, but can be controlled throughout the organization - medically responsible, legally clean and operationally integrable.

The Balance Methodology in four phases

Balance follows a structured approach that consciously combines individual stress, medical classification and organizational goals.

1
Orientation & classification
Clarify objectives and define the use of Balance in the company.
Result: Clear objectives and a structured start.
Joint clarification of framework conditions, target groups and issues.
2
Analysis - Integral Stress Test™ (IST)
Objective medical classification of stress as an analysis component of the balance methodology.
Result: Sound decision-making basis for HR and management.
Objective recording of central stress markers in defined groups and medical classification in the overall context.
3
Regulation
Targeted interventions - individual and structural.
ResultRealistic stabilization instead of selective actions.
Derivation of suitable measures at individual and organizational level.
4
Accompaniment
Anchoring change sustainably in the company.
Result: Sustainable impact instead of short-term effects.
Accompanying sessions, workshops or coaching sessions for integration into everyday working life.

More clarity. Fewer failures. Lasting effect.

Balance classifies stress in a medically sound manner - and thus creates the basis for well-founded decisions in prevention and stabilization.

Companies gain clarity about this,

  • where risks arise,
  • where targeted support is required,
  • and where existing measures are sufficient.

This enables downtime to be reduced, resources to be deployed in a targeted manner and health to be effectively integrated into corporate management - instead of only reacting when things have already become critical.

Medical responsibility & quality

Balance is managed by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, psychotherapists and coaches - with clearly designated medical leadership and multi-professional collaboration.

For companies, this means that classification and prioritization are carried out under clear professional responsibility - as a reliable basis for management and HR decisions.

The methodology is based on established medical concepts and markers and is scientifically evaluated, monitored and continuously developed by the Heart-Based Medicine Foundation.

This creates a service that is professionally reliable, transparent and capable of being organized.

Overall medical responsibility lies with clearly defined medical roles. They ensure that the classification, prioritization and derivation of the next steps are professionally correct, comprehensible and documented.

Psychotherapists and coaches complement the implementation within a coordinated framework - always under overall medical responsibility.

For companies, this means clear responsibilities, professional safeguarding and a procedure that is medically correct, compliant with data protection regulations and can be reliably integrated into existing structures.

Your next step - sound clarity for your organization

Personal - confidential - at eye level

Balance complements existing health and HR structures by providing medical clarity and structure for informed decision-making.

We will clarify this together in a non-binding exchange,

  • which issues are relevant for your organization,
  • whether Balance can be used sensibly for this purpose,
  • and what a possible entry could look like.

Not a sales pitch - but a well-founded initial assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Balance is not a catalog of measures, but a medically guided decision-making process. The focus is on the objective classification of stress with established markers - before measures are derived. This creates a sound basis for decision-making instead of assumptions or symbolic measures. Implementation is multi-professional and with clear medical responsibility.

For companies and organizations of all sizes that want to classify stress in a preventive and medically sound manner - and derive targeted, effective measures from this.

No. Balance complements existing OHM structures, but does not replace them. The focus is on the medically sound classification of stress and regeneration - as a basis for decisions on prevention and targeted intervention.

This depends on the objective and scope. Initial pilot projects can often be implemented in 4-6 weeks, larger projects or rollouts usually take 8-12 weeks or longer. We plan the time frame together realistically and in a way that can be integrated.

The costs depend on the scope, team size and scope of services. Different rates apply for pilot projects than for rollouts. We will prepare an individual offer.

We work closely with HR, BGM and medical services. We pay attention to clear roles, smooth integration and consistent data protection.

All surveys and evaluations are carried out in compliance with data protection regulations and applicable legal requirements. Individual data is treated confidentially.

Balance is aimed at employees aged 16 and over.
