The Working Minds campaign has been created by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Britain\u2019s national regulator for workplace health and safety, and is committed to improving the health of workers.

Tackling stress isn\u2019t just the right thing to do, it\u2019s a legal obligation. Working Minds can help you make it a routine priority for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reasons To Manage Stress In The Workplace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three main reasons employers should be looking to prevent stress and support good mental health in business:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. It’s the law<\/li>
  2. It\u2019s good for business<\/li>
  3. It\u2019s the right thing to do<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you\u2019re a small business or a large corporation, the law requires all employers to prevent work-related stress and support good mental health in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s important to remember that in the end, we\u2019re all just people. Every one of us faces pressures in and out of the workplace, and by treating each other with respect and compassion at work, we support our teams and colleagues to stay well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The earlier a problem is tackled, the less impact it will have on the person and your business. Stress affects people differently \u2013 what stresses one person may not affect another. Factors like skills, experience, age or disability may affect someone\u2019s coping ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Employee Wellbeing Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can get started today with these 5 steps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Reach out and have conversations.<\/li>
    2. Recognise the signs and causes of stress.<\/li>
    3. Respond to any risks identified by agreeing on action points between employer and workers.<\/li>
    4. Reflect on the actions taken \u2013 have things improved?<\/li>
    5. Make it routine to check back in on how things are going.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      If you think that a worker is having problems, encourage them to talk to someone, whether it\u2019s their line manager, trade union representative, GP or their occupational health team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
