Managing
Stress in Your Organisation

Pressure
is a part of everyday life. This can be positive when the pressure is a source
of stimulation and creativity or negative when it becomes a source of worry or
tension. If people experience an inappropriate amount of negative pressures over
a period of time they will become stressed.
Stress
can be caused through relationships and the environment at work. Stress at work
is now recognised as one of the major challenges in today's work place. The Health
and Safety Executive confirm that as many as one in five people are suffering
high levels of work-related stress.
Stress
can, amongst other things, lead to poor staff performance and lower productivity,
higher sickness absence and staff turnover and a breakdown in co-operation and
effective working relationships. Currently trades unions are actively supporting
hundreds of cases through the courts.
Whilst
an organisation cannot remove all sources of stress it can adopt some important
principles and implement some practical solutions that will help all the employees
to work in a healthier workplace.
