Employers urged to tackle work-related stress

Company bosses have been advised that they are legally obliged to ensure their employees are not suffering from stress and anxiety.

According to Business Link, employment law dictates that managers avoid letting their staff become ill as a result of work-related stress.

Alexandra Shoobert, an adviser at the organisation, said communicating with the workforce on a regular basis would be one positive step they could take.

"You need to keep your employees informed about any significant changes that are happening in the business to try to reduce uncertainty," she commented.

Ms Shoobert added that staff should also be given the opportunity to meet with their employers if they have any concerns or grievances.

She said an open door policy or making the time to meet with workers regularly could be important in tackling work-related stress.

The comments follow a poll by Norwich Union Healthcare, which found that nearly 50 per cent of workers in the UK feel stressed at the moment.
