Course Details

The course examines the impact stress can have on the individual, and looks at the reasons why the business is interested in dealing with it (e.g. duty of care; impact on performance; legal imperative; cost to the business). It introduces the HSE Stress Management Standards approach - Demands, Control, Support, Relationships, Role, Change - and what is required to implement them. It provides an opportunity to practice undertaking a simple stress risk assessment.
