Stress Toolkit

How can you tackle stress, anxiety & depression in the workplace?

The HSE states that over 11 million days are lost a year because of stress, with stress making up around 37% of all work-related ill-health cases.

Some of the main factors contributing to workload pressure include:

  • Lack of managerial support
  • Tight deadlines
  • Too many responsibilities
  • Role uncertainty
  • Workplace violence

Tackling stress, anxiety and depression is tough, especially when you fail to recognise the signs. Still, the issue remains vitally important all year round, at all levels of employment. Here are our ten top tips for recognising and tackling poor mental health. 

Make sure you have clear, robust policies which outline your company’s commitment to assisting with these issues. The aim of the policies should be to set out the actions that your company will take and who will maintain responsibility for this.
