Stress Awareness Week

Stress Awareness week is the 4th to 8th November. The Health and Safety Executives Working Minds campaign with their slogan REACH OUT-RECOGNISE-RESPOND-REFLECT brings together a range of tools and support to help businesses and workers understand the best ways to prevent work related stress and encourage good mental health.

There is a legal duty to include work-related stress within risk assessments. Failing to manage stress at work can decrease productivity and increase sickness and staff turnover.

The Workright Campaign includes a range of resources including free online learning to help understand your legal duty, possible causes and practical advice.
