Bad News, Good News
Bad News: Stress Awareness Day saw the release of many statistics relating to stress in the workplace including the shocking 91% of staff saying they are stressed at work.
Good News: NICE - the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence - will today launch new guidance for employers about how to improve mental wellbeing promotion.
The guidance will include information on how to prevent stress and identify problems early. It promises to help save a 1,000-employee business up to £250,000 per year in reduced absence and increased performance. See full article in HR Magazine Bulletin
News of the guidelines is excellent but in our experience these figures seem a little conservative - planned and executed properly there's even more value to be had with the right wellbeing initiatives.
