<p>According to the Health & Safety Executive, stress-related sickness absence costs the UK economy over £5 billion a year. In its report earlier this year, it described stress as a ‘major cause’ of sickness absence. This is against the background of the costs of general mental health problems which cost UK employers £30 billion a year, according to ACAS.But this is not a theoretical book about stress. It's completely practical. It's written for employers. It covers the following topics:•what stress is and what symptoms to look out for•what you can do as an employer to minimise and prevent stress in your staff•your duties under health and safety law, including the HSE Management Standards•how to approach risk assessments in this area•how you should deal with issues which may crop up with employees who are suffering from stress•what kind of claims you may face from employees in relation to workplace stress•personal injury claims for stress, what an employee would need to prove to be successful in a claim against you and how you might avoid them•key messages on preventing and defending employee stress claims.</p>
