Why tackle Workplace Stress?
To Reduce Sickness Absence:-
“In financial terms the estimated cost of sickness absence to the UK as a whole is around £12 billion a year.
Stress is the single largest cause of occupational ill health, accounting for around half of all days lost to
work-related ill health in these sectors, much of it stress-related.” HSE
A total of 13.8 million working days were lost to work-related stress, depression and anxiety in 2006/07.
N.B This works out at approximately £680 per employee per year at a loss of 30.2 days each – can you afford it?
