' Stress in the workplace has to be properly managed if it is to be controlled' Stress Management

Stress Management Let us release the pressure. Most businesses are at risk from occupational stress. Stress that affects the health of employees, can in turn disrupt the day- to- day running of your business, and in the worst case, prove a financial strain. The bad news is it's on the rise! With one in five employees reporting that they are feeling extremely stressed at work, and compensation for stress related injuries on the up, it's not a matter to be taken lightly. In fact, lack of attention to employee well- being can result in major legal and financial implications. Therefore, it is extremely important to deal with the causes before the affects arise. The good news is Miller Hospitality can help. The first thing to remember is that stress is not an illness, it is a state brought about by exposure to a wide range of work demands. While it is healthy and often beneficial for people to deal with challenges in their workplace, too much pressure can be harmful and destructive to health. As an employer you have a duty, under existing Health and Safety Legislation, to undertake risk assessments and manage activities to reduce the incidence of stress at work. You may say an added pressure in itself! However, at Miller Hospitality we can identify the key causes of stress in your work environment for you and outline steps you can take to deal with them, in line with Health and Safety Stress Management Standards. So why put extra stress on yourself when, with proper management, you can keep stress in your business under control? Stress Management
