This policy paper looks at how mental ill health in the workforce affects employers and details the costs of ignoring mental distress at work.
Stress is everywhere, but as a relatively new phenomenon. How can we define it? and how can we explain its extraordinary cost to both business and government?
Stress at_Work considers recent analysis of stress and reviews a series of recent high-profile contributions to the debate. It then explores the legal and policy context againsts which organisations must operate in regard to stress. Practical interventions are examined and critically evaluated.
