Stress Audits and Management

According to the health and safety executive (HSE), work-related stress costs the UK more than 13 million days a year at a cost of 3.7 billion pounds annually. Between 30-60% of absence is thought to be stress related and absence costs an average of 930 pounds per year, per employee. Each stress related period of ill health leads to an average of 30.9 days working days lost. Employers have a duty of care to protect the health and safety of their employees at work.

How Aspire helps organisations to manage stress:

• at an organisational level we help our clients to undertake stress audits as part of a wider risk management process
• we believe that its important to explore the impact of beliefs about the impact of psychosocial hazards on individual and organisational well-being
• after a full diagnostic process we work with organisations to develop interventions that will help them to reduce pressure and stress for example, developing new ways of working, improving communication, training and so on
• we work with individuals to develop ways of coping with stress at work
