Stress Awareness Month

April is also Stress Awareness month with the work-related stress and mental health policy team at HSE inviting business owners, employers and managers to make a difference during Stress Awareness Month in five steps. Over the course of the month, employers are encouraged to focus on one of the campaign’s 5 Rs for each of the five weeks. They are: to Reach out and have conversations, Recognise the signs and causes of stress, Respond to any risks you’ve identified, Reflect on actions you’ve agreed and taken, and make it Routine. Preventing work-related stress isn’t just the right thing to do by workers, it’s the law. All employers are required to prevent work related stress to support good mental health in the workplace.
