Managing Stress

Welcome

Managers play an important role in the management of stress at work, for instance;

  • They can prevent (or conversely cause) stress by the way that they behave towards employees.
  • Their influence may mean employees can be protected from, or exposed to, stressful working conditions
  • They work closely with their team and are well positioned to identify stress in others at an early stage.
  • If one of their employees suffers from stress, they, as the line manager, are likely to be involved in the solution.

The managers toolkit contains all the information managers need to help prevent stress in the workplace, and protect individuals who suffer from stress whatever the cause.
