Biffa’s HR Director has stated:
‘The course, which has been rolled out to all our Managers, has been extremely well received and has provided practical and helpful advice in tackling, managing and reducing stress in the workplace. Dot Gourlay’s presentation and interactive style supported by excellent documentation has made the course even more enjoyable.’
NPS identified that something needed to be done as an organisation to tackle stress at work, assess risk, and develop specific strategies to prevent and reduce stress where reasonably practicable. In-Equilibrium carried out: consultancy, risk assessment, and training.
This case study demonstrates that assessing and managing stress risks need not be an onerous or expensive task, nor does it necessarily require a separate stress survey of all staff.
Conclusion
