The HSE estimates the cost to society of work related stress is £4 billion each year, while 13.5 million working days were lost to stress in 2007/08. By taking action to reduce the problem, you can help create a more productive, healthy workforce and save money.
As an employer, you are by law to assess the risk of stress-related ill health arising from work activities and take action to control that risk. In the event that an employee successfully makes a claim against their employer for not protecting them against stress, the financial and PR implications are significant.
In addition to stress surveys and training for managers, Protostar also provide a free 8 page booklet for employers to distribute to their staff.
This free booklet provides guidance on how to spot stress symptoms and practical steps to avoiding or reducing them.
It has editable fields so you can insert your company logo on the cover and contact phone numbers and names at key points in the booklet.
