Stress is our body’s natural response to dealing with pressure. But too much stress over a long period of time can have a negative impact on how we feel and perform at work.

How does this affect your business?

Stress is one of the most common causes of long-term work absence in the UK. Supporting employees who are feeling stressed can help us to understand what's making them feel this way. Practical steps can then be taken to address this and help them feel more positive and productive at work.

We've compiled a list of expert-approved tools and resources for you to share with your employees to raise awareness about the importance of stress management.
