Stress is costing billions
Here’s a frightening fact for you!
Businesses are losing £28.3 billion per year because of stress, anxiety and depression, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) has claimed.
The watchdog says around 13.7 million working days are lost as a direct result of work-related mental health problems – with employers left to foot the bill
I hope that you have all recorded your stress risk assessments (Remember its an absolute duty to carry out risk assessments of all foreseeable risks to health!!!!)
Consider simple control measures to reduce stress, such as positive feedback, flexible hours and the introduction of home working, which could significantly reduce the absenteeism rate by making employees happier
