Stress Management for Business |
 |
|
What is your company’s most valuable resource? |
Company vehicles? Telephones? Computers? Photocopiers? Or your staff?
Just as you look after the company vehicles by having them regularly serviced, or having the office
equipment maintained on a service contract or employing IT specialists to prevent a virus affecting your
computers, companies need to look after their staff by employing preventive measures to reduce absenteeism.
According to the Health & Safety Commission what is the biggest cause of ill-health absence from work?
|
Stress! |
 |
Due to the financial markets in which companies now operate there is a constant demand to produce increased performance and better results. The negative impact of this is stress caused to staff:
- Average of 13 million days are lost to stress per year
- The CBI says that absenteeism, as a result of stress, is costing British industry approximately £11.5 billion a year.
- 1 in 5 people say that they find their work either very or extremely stressful
- Over half a million people say work-related stress is making them ill
- The CIPD says cost of absence now stands at £588 pa per employee
- The charity MIND states that £1000 spent on helping people to be healthy and motivated at work could result in £3000 in increased productivity
|
Apart from lost days what is the effect of stress on your business? |
 |
- Reduced productivity
- Reduced decision making skills
- Reduction in the quality of customer service
- Reduction in sales due to the poor sales pitches
- Increases the risk of work related injuries
- Increases staff turnover
- One stressed manager can infect a whole team, seriously affecting moral
- Potential litigation against companies by employees for damages when they have claimed stress caused by unreasonable behaviour by their employer
- Potential litigation from HSE who stipulate that companies have responsibility for the state of their employees’ mental health
All of the above will eventually affect your bottom line e.g. your company’s profits and that is why reducing
work related stress is now seen by many businesses as the biggest area of development for reducing labour
cost in the business and increasing the performance of the people.
