Managing stress
Stress and stress related conditions contribute significantly to the number of days lost to sickness absence across the whole Authority. To support managers and staff, we have developed a series of bespoke workshops to help identify and manage the underlying causes of stress in teams and individuals.
In addition to the workshops there are many resources available for managers. These links may be useful to get started: HSE – CIPD – MIND – Stress Management Society
