STRESS AT WORK AND HOW TO REDUCE IT

 

 

Work related stress is costing your organisation.  According to the Health and Safety Executive each worker experiencing stress related ill-health leads to an average of 30.9 working days lost to your organisation.

 

Doing something about reducing unhealthy levels of stress in  your staff is important

 

As well as reducing sickness absence costs to an organisation, tackling stress can

 

                                                      Improve productivity

                                                      Reduce staff turn-over

                                                      Improve staff commitment to work

                                                      Increase customer satisfaction

                                                      Attract and retain staff

Text Box: Training event for managers The workshop is designed for organisations with 20 or more managers. A work-pack for individual managers to complete is available for smaller organisations (see Resources) The training can also be provided to 2 or more organisations combining. The workshop is delivered in-house with the organisation providing the venue and up to 16 first line managers and above. This workshop enables managers to identify what they can do to reduce stress in their staff. This one day workshop identifies the major stressors in the work, as identified by the HSE, and provides managers with ideas, knowledge and information to help them manage these stressors thereby reducing both the levels of stress experienced by staff as well as the chances of staff ever experiencing unhealthy stress levels. Based on the work of the Health and Safety Executive the day will provide practical information a manager can readily implement in the workplace. The workshop will examine the culture of the workplace. It will consider healthy and unhealthy workplace cultures and participants will examine whether any changes are required to improve their workplace culture and/or practice. The day will also help the manager to consider what can be done to stop them from becoming a stress casualty.
