We work with clients to identify the risks and costs of stress and help to design strategies that will enable you to remove and reduce the effects of stress on both your organisation and your employees.
We can provide advice on risk assessment procedures which will help you to identify potential stressors that might be introduced during changes to the organisation and the working methods.
Stress Policies
Our clients are among the many employers who have found that a written stress policy is a sound foundation for preventing and minimising stress in the workplace. We can help you to produce a Stress Policy and procedures, which take into account the specific risks that may occur in your particular organisation. It will also allow an action plan to be formulated that will enable you to take reasonable and practical cost effective steps to protect your employees and the organisation from the adverse effects of stress.
Advantages of a Stress Policy:
A Stress Policy will indicate that an organisation is taking seriously the risk to their employees
Promote understanding towards those people who are at risk or already suffering from stress.
It will indicate that the management views stress as a Health & Safety risk to their employees
Will commit the management to assess that risk and to take actions to remove or minimise the stressors involved.
It will indicate to employees that they have a duty to look after their own well-being and to report excessive pressure before that pressure turns into stress.
It will enable managers to identify pressure and potential risks and deal with the individuals concerned before they become stressed and take sickness absence.
It will enable managers to understand that reducing the workload on employees is only one of a wide range of potential solutions to stress at work.
