Our specialised team can help you prevent work-related stress and comply with the law.
By the term ‘work-related stress’, we mean the process that arises where work demands of various types and combinations exceed a person’s capacity and ability to cope. Work-related stress is a significant cause of illness and disease and is known to be linked with high levels of sickness absence, staff turnover and other indicators of organisational underperformance - including human error.
Recent statistics confirm that work-related stress is widespread in the UK working population and is not confined to particular sectors or high risk jobs or industries. This is why a population-wide approach is necessary to tackle it.
