Stress Awareness Month - Building a Thriving Workplace with Effective Stress Management

We know that stress can be everywhere, and unhealthy stress can detrimentally affect our health, but do you know what is causing or contributing the most stress amongst your employees? Do your managers know how to support/spot signs of stress in their colleagues? What strategies are in place for tackling and supporting stress in your workplace? And are these strategies supporting those that need it?

Not being able to respond and support appropriately to stress in workplace can negatively affect not only the individual's health which can lead to a mental health problem. It can also impact the team and ultimately cost the organisation time, resources, reputation and its performance.

How could we help?

We can help you identify the biggest triggers and contributors for stress within your organisation and work with you to develop responsive and supportive solutions to manage and address stress within your organisation. This might include putting together wellness action plans, developing your reward package for employees or arranging training for your managers in the organisation. We can also provide advice on managing short term and long-term sickness absence in the workplace, from how to conduct an absence review meeting, to ensuring that you are meeting your legal obligations set out in the Equality Act.
