Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Health and Safety Executive
(HSE), will help to raise awareness and provide a tool to deal with the ever
growing problem of stress in the workplace within the UK.
The new guidance will provide businesses with advice and
information on how to prevent and manage stress in the workplace such as the
following:
- Defining stress in the workplace.
- Outlining existing legislation within the UK and Europe.
- Practical resources for the prevention and management of stress at work.
Mr. Gerry Sutcliffe, Employment Relations Minister, welcomed the new guidance
and said:
"This new guidance brings together the experience of both business and
unions and offers a practical approach on how business and their employees can
deal with work-related stress.
"Dealing with the problem offers new business opportunities, improved
productivity, increased competitiveness and a healthier workforce."
