Stress Audits

Why worry about Stress?

Stress is not an illness, it is a normal response within all humans and is essential to our well being. It allows us to increase our performance and remain alert. However, excess stress, which exceeds our personal ability to cope can result in psychological and physical problems. The results are seen in high staff turnover, higher absence rates, poor morale etc.

Stress is a significant factor in the performance of your workforce. Its impact is well documented.

Although the Health & Safety legislation sets out minimum duties of care for the health, safety and welfare of their employees, the cost/ benefit analysis of tackling stress in the workplace indicates that employers should do more than the minimum required by law.

An audit, which uses extensive employee interviews, can first help you identify possible stress related problems and then put in place a structure to tackle the most significant causes.
