Workplace
stress is perhaps the most serious problem facing UK employers.
And, in this age of 'if there is blame, there's a claim',
we believe that every employer in the UK should be critically
concerned about reducing those levels.
Facts:
1. Stress affects one in five of the working population.
2. It is now the single biggest cause of sickness absence in the
UK.
3. It costs UK industry £3.7 billion each year.
You may think that stress is an inevitable factor in working life.
Research shows that some stress is good. Stress ‘revs up’
the body thanks to chemicals like adrenalin and cortisol, which
are naturally occurring under stress.
However if stress is allowed to go unchecked, performance will
decline, and the constant bombardment by stress related chemicals
will affect a person's health.
During this stress management programme delegates will become

They will become aware of the legal aspects of stress in the workplace
