The
workplace in particular has changed dramatically with the
introduction of new fast-paced technologies - sometimes
it's hard to keep up with wave after wave of constant change
affecting our lives. It's not always easy to just take it
on the chin and carry on. Consequently, some 6.5 million
working days are lost in the UK each year as a result of
illness due to stress. Recent reports reveal that each year
stress costs UK business an estimated £4 billion.
As a company, is it your concern
?
It's management's duty by law to make sure that your employees
aren't made ill by their work. High levels of negative stress
can make your employees ill. Also, pro-active action to
reduce stress can be very cost-effective.

The
cost of stress in the workplace can result in - high staff
turnover, an increase in sickness absence, reduced work
performance, poor timekeeping and more customer complaints.
Stress in one person can also lead to stress in staff who
cover for the colleague. Also, employers who don't take
stress seriously may leave themselves open to compensation
claims from employees who have suffered ill health from
work-related stress. Fortunately, reducing stress need not
cost you a lot of money.
We
offer a range of options for companies to manage stress
in the workplace.
