Why tackle Workplace Stress?
To Reduce Sickness Absence
“In financial terms the estimated cost of sickness absence to the UK as a whole is around £12 billion a year.
Stress is the single largest cause of occupational ill health, accounting for around half of all days lost to
work-related ill health in these sectors, much of it stress-related.” HSE
A total of 13.8 million working days were lost to work-related stress, depression and anxiety in 2006/07.
N.B This works out at approximately £680 per employee per year at a loss of 30.2 days each – can you afford it?
To Benefit your Business
As well as reducing sickness absence costs to an organisation, tackling stress can have a positive effect on:
• Employee commitment to work;
• Staff performance and productivity;
• Staff turnover or intention to leave;
• Staff recruitment and retention;
• Customer satisfaction; and
• Organisational image and reputation.
To Comply with the Law
Employers have duties:
• Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to assess the risk of stress-related ill health arising from work activities; and
• Under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 to take measures to control that risk.
