Workplace Stress

Workplace stress management has become one of the key issues of modern working life. There have been a huge number of books published on the subject and ‘being stressed out’ features readily in many people’s vocabulary.

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.

Tackling the problems of workplace stress is important as these occupational 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

Alcohol & Drugs also play a part in their use to suppress stress, thus can be seen 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, and this has not changed.
