Stress Awareness for Managers Online

Further Information:

Introduction

There is a legal requirement placed on employers to ensure that stress in the workplace is properly managed and that a risk assessment is undertaken.Managers are most likely to undertake the risk assessment and manage stress in the workplace and therefore need to be properly equipped to do so. A recent survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) on absence management found that respondents cited management style as one of the top three causes of work-related stress. About 1 in 5 people say they find their work either very or extremely stressful and over half a million people believe that work-related stress actually made them ill. On average, a case of stress-related ill health leads to 29 working days being lost and in one recent year a total of 13.4 million working days were lost to either stress, depression or anxiety.
