Shared Research Project - Stress

Would you like to shape stress research?

HSE is seeking like-minded organisations to join a shared research project to further the knowledge and understanding of stress management, with a particular focus on proactive management and preventative measures. HSE will co-invest with several project partners to fund research that will be undertaken by the HSE's Laboratory in partnership with Robertson Cooper. As a starting point, our experts have identified some of the areas where research could strengthen the evidence base to help businesses manage stress.

1. Designing and implementing the right interventions, in the right way
   What factors should be taken into account when choosing, designing and implementing impactful interventions? What are the leading indicators for measuring success? How do you join up multiple interventions to create the overall impact you're looking for?
2. A reliable benchmark for a complete health management system
   How do you mainstream a business focus on health and wellbeing? What is the standard or benchmark for this, and how should organisations put a strategy in place to get there? How do they measure the success of that strategy? How could these standards be applied inside businesses supply chains?
3. A culture of wellbeing
   What are the underlying parts of a business' culture that support wellbeing? How do organisations go from 'doing' to 'being' when it comes to putting wellbeing at the heart of how they do business?

Research Workshop

HSE are hosting a shared research workshop at our laboratory in Buxton on the 12th May 2017 where experts from Robertson Cooper and HSE would like to discuss the research interests with stakeholders across HR, H&S and operational delivery. The workshop will gather ideas and draw together common issues that will formulate shared research project plans.

For shared research programmes, HSE needs partners to invest a share of the research budget. In return, those partners shape the research and have access to the findings ahead of publication.

Places at the workshop are limited so book your place now.

If you can't attend but would like to be kept up to date please contact Kevin Hallas.
