Corporate Stress

Every employee suffers from stress at some time. Whether it is caused in the workplace or at home is largely irrelevant as the problem will still manifest itself in the workplace anyway. A troubled employee is not as productive as a contented employee. Their work rate will drop and they may make mistakes. This causes them further stress with its various symptoms (see top of this page) which compounds the problem and starts a vicious cycle that normally leads to absenteeism.

Consequently, more and more companies are discovering the benefits of introducing Stress Relief programmes. Employers find that with in-house therapy treatments, stress is greatly reduced, leading to increased motivation, reduced staff turnover, and less absenteeism

Corporate Stress - Whats does it involve?

AIMS 1/2/3

1. INCREASE EFFICIENCY OF STAFF

many members of staff do not take time off for stress related illnesses, but even so they can still be suffering from it. this affects their productivity, and in these times when more and more productivity is demanded from employees it makes sense to introduce an effective stress management system

2. REDUCE SICKNESS ABSENCE DUE TO STRESS.

As already stated stress related sick absence accounts for over 80% of all sick absence, with its attendant cost in unproductive sick pay, loss of productivity and extra cost in temporary replacement staff. A proactive stress management system could be cost-effective in the long run.

3. REDUCE EXPOSURE TO STRESS RELATED COMPENSATION CLAIMS

Recently there have been some very costly settlements in stress related compensation claims; £112,000 for a council worker in Teeside and £57,000 for a part time council worker in the midlands. According to Unison there are 7,000 cases waiting to go to court and the numbers as you will be aware are rising.
Stress and stress related illness, has become the most common cause of sick absence in the industrial world today.
