Stress Risk Assessments

Why should you do Stress Risk Assessments?

Stress is one of the biggest causes of absence and there are legal requirements on employers to manage these concerns. So learning to deal with stress will not only benefit individual employees but should help protect your business from litigation.

Perhaps you have a problem with stress but don’t know where to start!

That’s a question employers often ask. How do you know if you need to do a Stress Risk Assessment?  What sort of problems might you have?  It could be that your employees are having difficulties completing projects on time, perhaps there are complaints by staff, or sickness absence is becoming a problem. All or some of these might be an indication that they are struggling with stress.

So what’s causing stress at your workplace?

Stress can be caused by a number of different issues. For example if your staff are struggling with the amount of work then you need to look at the level of training, the level of support and how the workload is organised. Whatever the problem you need an effective way of finding the cause.

Making changes that help your staff and your business

That’s where a Stress Risk Assessment can help. With the information you get from a Stress Risk Assessment you will know the areas where you have problems. So you can concentrate on solving the issues and helping your staff to work better without wasting valuable time and effort.
