Course Introduction
There is a legal requirement placed on employers to ensure that stress in the workplace
is properly managed and that a risk assessment is undertaken. Managers are most
likely to undertake the risk assessment and manage stress in the workplace and therefore
need to be properly equipped to do so.
A recent survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) on
absence management found that respondents cited management style as one of the top
three causes of work-related stress.
About 1 in 5 people report they either find their work very or extremely stressful
and over half a million people believe that work-related stress has caused them
illness.
On average, a case of stress-related ill-health leads to 29 working days being lost
and in one recent year a total of 13.4 million working days were lost to either
stress, depression or anxiety.
