Are You Stressing About Stress?
Stress is a major concern and challenge for employers, not only because of the effects on the health of the individual workers, but also because of the costs and economic impact on business.
The potential costs of work-related stress to an employer include:
- Cost of absences including disturbances in production, creativity and competitiveness
- Reduced effectiveness of employees suffering from work-related stress
- Punitive fines from the Health and Safety Executive, and
- Awards of damages from the courts arising from Personal Injury claims.
What Can Employers Do?
Work-related stress is preventable and action to reduce it can be very cost-effective.
The first step for employers is to assess the risks of work-related stress by looking for pressures at work that could cause high and long lasting levels of stress and deciding who might be harmed. Once the risks have been identified they can take adequate action to prevent the harm.
