Unbelievably, stress is still largely ignored by many employers
Employers have a 'duty of care' to work within the current employment legislation, which states that employees should be protected from injury - both physical and mental. It becomes increasingly important to take a lead in promoting that culture.
Do you have a healthy approach to stress levels in your business?
You could be paying the price for lack of performance from stress, without even knowing it. Damages and costs are escalating in real terms - not only financially, but in damaged reputations - Employment Tribunal cases are widely reported, making target companies less attractive to high-performing quality candidates (not to mention your customers).
Your key staff will not put up with unnecessary stress at work for very long; they increasingly know their rights. So you could easily lose the people that really matter to your business - and your competitors could gain from their knowledge. Don't risk that happening by ensuring that stress levels are managed.
We can offer you an insight into what causes people to become stressed in the work environment and aspects of a duty of care culture.
