A recent CIPD survey confirms that work stress is now more common than back pain as a cause of long term work absence. Employers find workplace stress a very difficult area to manage. Employers have difficulty in recognising work stress but this can be lessened by ensuring that managers are adequately trained to recognise work stress. Additional difficulties occur when attempting to define reasonable work adjustments for a stressed employee.

On this website there are several tools to help organisations and their managers manage work stress. These include the following;

Is work stress a problem? – Setting up an organisational stress audit
