WHY SHOULD WE TACKLE STRESS?
Stress is an experience which is unique to
each
and every one of us. The health and Safety
Executive (HSE) defines stress as "the adverse
reaction a person has to excessive pressure or
other types of demands placed upon them."
WORK PLACE STRESS.
Stress in the workplace is firmly recognised
as one of the highest priorities that
organisations need to address from a legal,
moral and business perspective. ABC Associates
(NI) own Stress Manager will aim to deliver
training and can work with companies to
implement the management standards as
recommended by the HSE for tackling
work related stress. Good effective Stress
management strategies within the organisations
will enable organisations to adhere to the
Health and Safety at work act, etc.), as
employers have a duty to ensure as far as
reasonably practicable the health of their
employees at work. There are potential costs
such as increased sickness absence, not to
mention the cost of litigation.
PERSONAL STRESS.
Stress can arise from an accumulation of
events and situations over a period of time. It
is important to remember that stress is not
about having one or two bad days, it is not an
illness, however if prolonged or intense it can
lead to mental and physical ill health such as
depression, back pain and heart disease.
