Stress management

Stress, job insecurity and burnout are affecting today’s workforce on an epidemic scale. Many employees at all levels feel the demands of the workplace, combined with those of their home life, have become too much to handle.

The Health and Safety Executive reported that in 2021/22, the leading cause of work-related illness in the UK was stress, depression or anxiety.
