Wholeheart Works - Stress Management http://www.wholeheartworks.com UK London Stress Management

Stress is currently highlighted as one of the biggest challenges to industry in the UK.

The effects of stress on one person can have devastating and wide ranging impact for teams, organisations and communities. Stress and its negative impact is “contagious”. Just consider the growing phenomenon of telephone rage, road rage, air rage etc, and the growing number of attacks on staff in the public and health sectors.

Why Wholeheart Works?

As specialists in wellbeing in business we can work with your organisation to help you achieve excellence through a solution focused approach to stress management.

Our approach is multifaceted and we strived to take best practice to the leading edge, keeping up to date with latest developments in HSE guidelines as well as working with your specific needs and requirements.

We recommend a multidimensional approach which focuses on individual, team and organisational responsibility and we help you to develop the infrastructure to support this.

As work related stress is an individual, team and organisational problem, it is rarely a separate issue to be solved in isolation.

We look at your organisation holistically and work with you to achieve multifaceted solutions.

We take it further and say that individual, team and organisation also effect their immediate communities. By tackling work related stress organisations are positively impacting society and exercising what we at Wholeheart Works call Holistic Social Responsibility.

HSE Guidance

Although stress can be experienced in all areas of life, figures from a 1995 survey indicated that ill health stemming from work-related stress is the second biggest cause of occupational ill health in Great Britain.

HSE commissioned research has indicated that:

» about half a million people experience work-related stress at a level they believe was making them ill;

» up to 5 million people in the UK feel “very” or “extremely” stressed by their work; and

» work-related stress costs society between £3.7 billion and £3.8 billion every year (1995/96 prices).

HSE's key messages are

» work-related stress is a serious problem for organisations;

» but there are things organisations can do to prevent and control it; and

» the law requires organisations to take action.
