Workplace stress directly affects workers’ health, morale and workplace relations. In turn, this impacts the organisation’s productivity and worker turnover.
Some 828,000 workers suffered from work-related stress, depression, or anxiety in the most recent year data is available. This accounted for 17.9 million lost working days lost, as per the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
No law specifically covers stress problems at work. However, protection comes from various sources. Statutory laws state that employers should take steps to ensure that the workplace is safe and healthy, and to control identified hazards and risks.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require business owners to perform sufficient risk assessments for the health and safety of workers. Employers should put proper controls in place to minimise these risks as far as practically possible.
Stress is a significant organisational hazard in any industrial environment. Due to its nature, it can be difficult to identify. But if left unchecked, it can lead to a variety of mental and physical problems as well as workplace accidents. Employers should work to ensure that all employees and supervisors understand the risks of stress, how to identify it and what to do if they do spot it.
