Introduction

This is a comprehensive 2 day course that considers the management of work-related stress at the organisational level and examines individual stress management. 

Day one outlines the key elements of HSE's Management Standards for Work-Related Stress and the associated risk assessment approach. It provides guidance on how to use the approach in your organisation and affords the opportunity to explore its practical application.

Day two focuses on individual case management. This outlines a practical method of conducting an individual stress risk assessment, how to communicate with an individual during sickness absence and how to effectively manage the return to work process. This part of the course focuses specifically on individuals with work- related stress.

 The programme includes a discussion of the legal aspects associated with work-related stress and how to practically implement the risk assessment approach at an organisational and individual level. The course is interactive involving a variety of practical group activities and discussion exercises, to help you take the approach forward in your organisation. The course also affords the opportunity to share experiences with other delegates and HSL experts.

• A definition of work-related stress - its causes and symptoms.
