About this course

Stress is something that can affect all of us – it’s something that can contribute to a great many illnesses, and more working days are lost due to stress than for any other single reason.

Our Stress Awareness in the Workplace training course shows you how to take positive steps to prevent stress; it looks at how to stay in control when the pressure is mounting and highlights the tell-tale signs to help you recognise problems before they become serious. It also provides strategies to put in place to prevent pressure from getting out of control – suggesting ways to change daily routines and learned behaviours to allow a better and more productive working life.

Statistics show there are around 828,000 cases of work-related stress, depression or anxiety in Great Britain each year, with nearly 17.9 million working days lost. If you think that your staff may be susceptible to stress, allow our Stress Awareness & Management Training to help you recognise and combat the signs of workplace stress.

This course is suitable for all levels of staff including management and employers. It also works well alongside our Mental Health Awareness Course. We also offer a white paper covering mental ill-health in UK workplaces and ISO 45003 & wellbeing at work, download it for free today.

To date, we’ve helped over 169,000 people become more aware of workplace stress – both in themselves and in colleagues.

Very informative

This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars

Very detailed course on varied up to date subjects

The course covers all sorts of different aspects of child abuse . Very up to date . 4 stars given as not sure we need to know about breast ironing , just think it's a little too much .

I little over repetative, but reasonably clear

This course perhaps needs some personable examples of real situations, rather than too much repetitiveness. Some specific strategies to help specific issues. Perhaps where some work and some don't etc etc, and basic evaluation of this. The section on obtaining a diagnosis is truly incorrect in this day and age. Many people are waiting for years to see professionals and this can affect their mental health and well being. In fact, a whole section should be devoted to this in that knowing someone is awaiting further help and how challenging this can be in the meantime is extremely important. Little was mentioned regarding signposts within work for people who need extra help and support, the importance of who deals with this etc etc.

Very informative if not a little too long to undertake all in one module

Why is this training important?

Compliance

It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 together ensure that employers have legal responsibility to ensure the health and safety at work of all employees. And this includes minimising the risks of illnesses or injuries relating to stress.

Health and Safety policy should address the issue of stress at work and effective risk assessments relating to stress should be carried out and regularly monitored.

It shall be the duty of every employer to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all his employees.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Section 2 (1)

Helping employees recognise and tackle stress also goes some way to fulfilling the duty of the employee to his or her colleagues:

It shall be the duty of every employee while at work to take reasonable care for the health and safety of himself and of other persons who may be affected by his acts or omissions at work

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Section 7

Business benefits

Stress and stress-related illnesses now account for over half of all workplace absences.

As many as 15.4 million working days were lost last year at an estimated cost of £34 – £43 Billion to employers – and this is only expected to rise.

Our Stress Awareness & Management Training course aims to help you break this trend by providing you with the tools to recognise and reduce stress in the workplace, as well as helping you take positive steps to prevent stress from building and becoming a problem in the first place.
