Stress related sickness is widely reported to be a major cause of absence for UK businesses. It is estimated that 13.4 million working days a year are lost through stress, anxiety and depression, with sickness absence costing over £12 billion according to the latest figures from the CBI.

In organisations everywhere, employees are facing increasing pressures to be both effective at work and to maintain a quality home life.

Modern businesses demand high performance, short response times, long working hours and heavy workloads. At home many people face money pressures, family demands, education concerns, high lifestyle expectations and limited time with loved ones.

When an employee has an issue, whether the origin is work or home based, performance in the workplace is likely to be affected. Sickness and absence can increase while concentration and efficiency may decrease.

Workplace stress is becoming a major health and safety concern for employees and employers alike. It makes sense therefore, to take the best care of your employees, not just to comply with current legislation, but to inspire greater commitment, efficiency and productivity.

My approach is to prevent stress in the workplace, not just to react to its consequences.
