stress management has become one of the key issues of modern working

published on the subject and ‘being stressed out’
features readily in many people’s vocabulary.

people have to excessive pressures or other types of demands
placed upon them. It arises when they worry that they can't
cope." Health & Safety Executive |

to others.

‘Stress in the workplace causes more
staff absences than the common cold’. This was a
major finding from the survey of business issues carried out in
2002. Many significant work-related changes have
taken place within organisations, such as downsizing, rationalising
roles and allocating additional responsibilities. In many situations,
this has resulted in there being fewer people with significantly
more work to do, with the result that workplace stress has become
an integral part of many people’s working life.

changes in working practices also mean that people now live with
far more uncertainty in their working lives, while being expected
to put in longer hours in their jobs and so the result is soaring
workplace stress levels

as resulting in Workplace
violence.
Although stress can be experienced in all areas
of life, survey figures from as long ago as 1995 indicated that
ill health stemming from work-related stress is the second
biggest cause of occupational ill health in Great Britain,
