Online Stress Awareness for Employees
Overview
About 1 in 5 people report that they either find their work very or extremely stressful and over half a million people report that they experience work-related stress at a level they believe has actually caused them illness.
On average, a case of stress-related ill-health leads to 29 working days being lost. In one recent year a total of 13.4 million working days were lost due to either stress, depression or anxiety in the UK.
