staff wellbeing audit

Stress in the workplace is a business-critical issue. If it is not managed properly, stress will cause employee health and absence problems, and reduce individual and organisational productivity. UK and ROI employers have a legal responsibility to conduct health and safety risk assessments, including assessing the risk of stress-related harm to their workforce. In order to help employers fulfil their responsibility to undertake stress risk assessments, Inspire Knowledge & Leadership use the HSE management standards for stress at work which are based on research carried out to define main sources of stress in the workplace.

What can employers do?

• Carrying out risk assessment for stress at work, acting on the results and reviewing regularly
• Developing policies, procedures and services around stress and mental wellbeing
