Stress Management in the workplace

 

Workplace stress affects the performance of the brain, including functions of work performance; memory, concentration, and learning. In the UK over 13 million working days are lost every year because of stress. Stress is believed to trigger 70% of visits to doctors, and 85% of serious illnesses (UK HSE stress statistics). Stress at work also provides a serious risk of litigation for all employers and organisations, carrying significant liabilities for damages, bad publicity and loss of reputation. Dealing with stress-related claims also consumes vast amounts of management time.

 

It is, therefore vital that employers should provide a stress-free work environment, recognise where stress is becoming a problem for staff, and take action to reduce stress. Stress in the workplace reduces productivity, increases management pressures, and makes people ill in many ways, evidence of which is still increasing.

 

Clearly there are strong economic and financial reasons for organisations to manage and reduce stress at work, aside from the obvious humanitarian and ethical considerations. The stress problems usually spill over from home into the workplace and most definitely clash with lifestyle. There is evidence which shows that employees who take place in wellness or health programmes are more productive than those who don’t. Health promotion measures can lead to between 12% and 36% reduction in sickness and absence according to ‘Health, Work and Wellbeing – Caring for our future’, 2005, Dept for Work & Pensions.

 

A for Appointments have qualified stress management executives who will assess the needs of the company and provide a tailor-made, in-house course, seminar or multi-module training course as required. See Client Services for more details.
