New guidance on managing stress
April 1st 2007 The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has published three new guides, in association with the HSE. All are designed to help organisations combat workrelated stress and are available to download – www.cipd.co.uk/guides. Ben Willmott, employee relations advisor, (pictured), says "Workplace stress is the most common cause of longterm absence and also damages employee morale and productivity and leads to high staff turnover. Employers that fail to manage stress are also vulnerable to litigation and potentially high compensation payouts." The guidance draws on 19 key management behaviours that play a vital role in preventing, identifying and tackling stress effectively. More articles from CIPD: |
