For more information and to view the guidance please see the CIPD website at http://www.cipd.co.uk/subjects/health/stress/_lnstrswrk.htm HSE’s stress management standards are available at http://www.hse.gov.uk/stress/standards/ If you would like any further information on tackling stress, please do not hesitate to contact our Health and Safety Team. |
