Stress at work

Work related stress affects individuals. It causes working time to be lost and less work to be done; as a result, costs increase and overall performance suffers. In turn, an increased workload on colleagues may cause stress for them too.

Work related stress and stress in general can be described as the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure or other excessive demands placed on them.

Good stress management in the workplace will ensure that every manager and employee understands the causes of workplace stress, how to recognise it and what to do about it.

By working together and using effective HSE stress management techniques, you and your employees will be able to avoid most problems involving stress at work.
