For HR & People Leaders · Lisbon

Your team's energy
is invisible.
CSRD now requires
you to see it.

Pausa helps companies measure psychosocial risk, run science-backed group programs, and meet ESRS S1 — in one connected system.

Burnout and stress are now
a legal reporting obligation.

The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) explicitly names psychosocial risks — including stress and burnout — as mandatory disclosures under ESRS S1. This is not a trend. It is law.

Who it applies to

250+ employees
or €40M turnover

Meeting any two of three size criteria triggers full ESRS S1 reporting. Many Lisbon tech companies are already in scope.

What you must report

Policies · Actions
Targets · Metrics

Four disclosure areas. You must show not just intent — but documented programs and year-on-year data.

The key standard

S1-14 Health &
Safety Metrics

Stress, burnout, work-life balance, and psychological safety are explicitly named. Absenteeism data alone is not enough.

⚠️

The Omnibus simplification does not remove psychosocial risk obligations. Companies within scope must still report stress, burnout, and related indicators under S1-14 — regardless of the 2025 amendments.
