Why Stress Management is Important for Any Organisation
Before putting your business' stress management systems in place, it's important to understand the effects that stress can have both on your employees and your organisation, the reasons why your workforce could feel the pressure of stress, and the best stress management options for your business.
Employees feeling the pressure of stress is not uncommon and experts have even said that manageable levels of stress in the workplace is an important experience as it can contribute towards productivity. Of course, there is a fine line between manageable and unmanageable levels of stress, and this level can change from person to person.

- Increased staff absences
- Reduced productivity levels
- High staff turnover rates
- Increased recruitment costs
