Introduction

Research from the CBI reveals that more than 13.5 million working days are lost every year to stress, anxiety and depression with a direct cost to employers of £370 million per annum. With one in five employees admitting that they find their work very stressful, it’s vital that organisations take the problem of stress management seriously if they want to safeguard the mental health of their staff and the financial health of their business [1].

This course helps managers to understand the impact of work-related stress on employee health and business performance and the steps they can take to manage the problem more effectively.
