ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has commissioned recent research which has indicated that: . about half a million people in the UK experience work-related stress at a level they believe is making them ill; . up to 5 million people in the UK feel "very" or "extremely" stressed by their work; and . a total of 12.8 million working days were lost to stress, depression and anxiety in 2004/5. Work-related stress is therefore a serious problem and tackling it effectively can result in significant benefits for organizations. This can result in a happier and more productive workforce with fewer days away from work with stress related illnesses. Managers will also want to comply with recent HSE advice on managing stress within the workplace fulfilling their duty of care to employees. This should result in less exposure of organisations to the threat of litigation and the resultant negative publicity this causes. The intention of this book is to provide information to those who may be suffering from work related stress and to provide managers with a "toolkit" to help address such problems in the workforce.
USER REVIEWS
"Having worked within large organisations both as a manager and clinician involved in the management of individuals suffering stress related illness I am extremely glad there is now a hands-on guide on how to deal with the difficult and potentially damaging epidemic of stress related problems that are rife within our current "burn out" culture. This book should be on the shelf of any individual who is involved in the management of staff at a junior, middle or senior management position. Trevor Hicks and Caroline McSherry provide easy to access help on a wide range of stress related issues relevant to management including the background to what stress actually is, how it affects individuals, how it is recognised, what can be done to help, where an organisation stands regarding its responsibilities to its employees, stress and the law, advice on helping staff return to work and the latest developments on this tricky area from the Health and Safety Executive. I would recommend this book to any individuals responsible for the management of staff within an organisation large or small."
