Overview
Stress is now the most common form of work-related illness. Last year, 12.5 million working days were lost in the UK due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety, according to statistics published by the HSE last year.
The ability to overcome work-related stress (WRS) is becoming ever more critical, especially in the public sector, which is subject to intense scrutiny, funding cuts and stretched resources. Managers have a responsibility to identify “stressors” within their workplace and take appropriate action.
