Work Place Stress Management

The HSE estimates the cost to society of workplace stress is £4 billion each year, while 13.5 million working days were lost to work related stress in 2009. By taking action to reduce work related stress, you can help create a more productive, healthy workforce and save money. 

 

As an employer, you are legally obliged to assess the risk of stress-related ill health 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 workplace stress surveys, employment law training related to stress and stress management 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 workplace stress symptoms and practical steps to avoiding or reducing them.  With many stress management tips and lists of stress management resources, it is an easy to distribute guide.

 

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.
