Management Training - Workplace Stress

It has been recently calculated that absenteeism due to stress related illnesses is costing the UK over £3.7 billion a year. However the results of recent surveys* indicate that proactively managing workplace stress for many organisations still remains as a low priority on their agenda.

It has also been reported that the majority of the managers surveyed also feel ill-prepared when it comes to being able to recognise work place stress; secondly how to manage it effectively and thirdly, knowing and understanding the support mechanisms in place to help them manage it.

Taking a more proactive approach has potentially a number of different benefits:

• Perceived externally as a caring organisation therefore more attractive to future employees
• Reduction in overhead costs
• The organisation is more efficient
• Better informed and prepared managers
• Earlier detection
• The potential to reduce absenteeism
• Lower turnover of employees
• Less risk of litigation
