Pressure is a part of everyday life. This can be positive
when the pressure is a source of stimulation and creativity or negative when it
becomes a source of worry or tension. If people experience an inappropriate
amount of negative pressures over a period of time they will become stressed.
Stress can be
caused through relationships and the environment at work. Stress at work is now
recognised as one of the major challenges in today’s work place. The Health
and Safety Executive confirm that as many as one in five people are suffering
high levels of work-related stress.
Stress can, amongst other things, lead to poor staff
performance and lower productivity, higher sickness absence and staff turnover
and a breakdown in co-operation and effective working relationships. Currently
trades unions are actively supporting hundreds of cases through the courts.
Whilst an organisation
cannot remove all sources of stress it can adopt some important principles and
implement some practical solutions that will help all the employees to work in a
healthier workplace.

stress in your organisation. We offer a range of practical interventions that
