Work Related Stress
There are clear benefits to tackling work related stress. The HSE (Health & Safety Executive) estimates that work related stress costs around £3.7billion a year (at 1995/96 prices) with a estimated 13.5 million working days lost to stress, depression and anxiety in 2007/08.
Other benefits include;
* Work Life balance improvements = happier employees = better performance
* Attendance levels increase = sickness days decrease.
* Better communication between employer and employee = less tribunals.
* Happier staff = less leavers = higher staff retention = less time and money spent on recruitment of new personnel.
The need to tackle stress is also recognised by law under the Health and Safety at work act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work regulations 1999. Employers are obliged to conduct risk assessments to ascertain areas of work related stress and take action to control it.
