Stress in the Workplace

[Keith A Ayres]

I am currently designing a Business Tool for use by companies, to help them understand if they have challenges within their business that may be resulting in Higher than acceptable levels of negative stress.

What Question would you ask a company, apart from obvious ones, that would cause the company to 'think on' and contribute in building a picture about the likely levels of stress within the company.

Let me give you some examples

Is your Quality Control at an all time high?
Are Staff Appraisals seen positively by staff?
Do your employees have an excellent timekeeping record?

You will note that each question is positive if answered with a yes.

I look forward to your contributions.

Hello Keith,

I am currently working on a Welsh project (for part of my time) - Healthy Minds at Work.

We have been using both the HSE stress tool and the Robertson Cooper "ASSET" tool (that has some links to the HSE tool)

I wonder if there is merit in using these tools initially, as they allow benchmarking against similar sectors/companies. The development of the resulting action plan can then pave the way to the development and delivery of interventions.

Best regards,

Paul Kilbourne

Hello Keith,

More often than not it is the work place design that causes overload stress. If the workplace/space is not well designed it causes subconcious stress - when you add a stressful workload it creates overload.
I work with businesses to redesign the work place/space to reduce the environmental stress thus improving productivity.

I'd like to chat about this more with you - how can I assist you further ?

Best regards,

Adam
