The NHS, social care, criminal justice, education and neighbourhood services are widely recognised as reporting high levels of ill-health due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety. Employers have a legal duty to protect workers from stress at work by doing a risk assessment and acting on it.
HSE will be presenting a free, hour-long, knowledge-sharing webinar on managing and controlling work-related stress focused on Public Services. In the webinar you will hear from experts about the HSE stress Management Standards, how to approach a stress risk assessment, resources and how the HSE Stress Indicator Tool (SIT) could help your organisation.
The latest benchmarking data and case studies will be also shared. There will be a live question and answer at the end where you can ask our panel of experts any questions you may have.
