PROGRAM OUTCOMES & CASE STUDIES
Every program is measured. Here's what the data shows.
These are the real outcomes from real programs with real workforces — measured before and after using validated psychometric instruments. Not self-reported anecdotes. Not participant opinions alone. Independent data, every time.
All results use validated psychometric instruments — Stroop Test, MAAS and perceived stress scales — with pre and post assessment included in every program.

MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGY
How the results are measured.
Every Ben Robbins program includes pre and post psychometric assessment using three independently validated instruments.
Stroop Test
A well-established neuropsychological assessment measuring selective attention, cognitive flexibility and processing speed — the mental skills that determine how well someone manages competing demands and distractions under pressure.
Measures: selective attention · processing speed · cognitive flexibility
MAAS — Mindful Attention Awareness Scale
A validated instrument measuring present-moment awareness and mindful attention in daily life — how well someone stays focused on the task at hand rather than being pulled into distraction or autopilot.
Measures: present-moment awareness · attentional focus · mindfulness in daily life
Self-reported stress scales
Validated self-report measures of perceived psychological stress, capturing how participants experience and respond to the demands of their work and personal environment.
Measures: perceived stress · emotional load · wellbeing at work and home
All three instruments are administered before the program begins and again on completion. Program reports can be used for WHS documentation, leadership reporting and board-level accountability under the OHS (Psychological Health) Regulations 2025.
The numbers across every program, every industry.
