Posted By Robert M Edwards Stress is on the increase and you are not unique in this. We do not advise placing the stats together as the risk assessment procedures and your duty of care is fundamentally different in both areas. We can forward you some stats and research ( independant) to show the trends and the way to defend actions against your company before they happen. If anyone is interested they can email us direct and we will send them the information by way of attachment. Also look out for our PDF files as we are posting them up and flexible working and the law is on today, stress, worklife balance, risk assessing HR functions are all topics that will appear as PDF files this month.
