The Health and Safety Executive’s Management Standards for Stress identify risk factors which, if addressed, can help to reduce work-related stress. We can work with your management team in drawing up a strategy to address workplace stress. This may involve:

• Identifying baseline information such as staff turnover and absenteeism
• Undertaking a stress audit in some or all departments
• Identifying ‘hotspots’ where stress is an issue
• Drawing up a strategy and action plan
• Developing a stress policy
• Briefing senior management / Board members on the way forward
• Providing stress awareness training for managers to enable them to deal with stress within their departments
• Providing stress management / work-life balance training for staff members as appropriate
