The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has commissioned recent research which has indicated that: . about half a million people in the UK experience work-related stress at a level they believe is making them ill; . up to 5 million people in the UK feel "very" or "extremely" stressed by their work; and . a total of 12.8 million working days were lost to stress, depression and anxiety in 2004/5. Work-related stress is therefore a serious problem and tackling it effectively can result in significant benefits for organizations. This can result in a happier and more productive workforce with fewer days away from work with stress related illnesses. Managers will also want to comply with recent HSE advice on managing stress within the workplace fulfilling their duty of care to employees. This should result in less exposure of organisations to the threat of litigation and the resultant negative publicity this causes. The intention of this book is to provide information to those who may be suffering from work related stress and to provide managers with a "toolkit" to help address such problems in the workforce.

Work-related stress and resulting sickness absence costs the UK economy about £3.7 billion every year (HSE research). In this jargon-free guide, Jeremy Stranks explains what stress is and what causes it, how people respond to stress and cope with it, how stress can be evaluated and managed and what employers’ legal responsibilities are.

The author provides simple tools to measure and assess stress and shows how to deal with a range of stress-creating workplace situations, such as bullying, harassment and violence at work. The book also details how to implement a stress management system that complies with the new HSE Management Standards to avoid civil claims and criminal sanctions by the enforcement agencies. End of chapter key points draw out the implications of the preceding text for the employer and an executive summary shows the main aspects that senior management have to be aware of.

The first book, '9 Strategies for Dealing With the Difficult stuff' hit #2 and the second book, '9 Strategies for Dealing with Stress' hit #1.In 9 Strategies for Dealing with Workplace Stress, Stephanie draws on research into the best workplace stress management strategies and ties this in to her personal experience as a leadership coach and consultant. Stephanie's approach is to help readers reframe their relationship with stress and focus on what they can control. In the appendix of the book, Stephanie shares excellent lifestyle strategies that her readers have contributed to the book and a list of websites and resources to access. If you are experiencing stress symptoms and need stress relief, this book will provide you with concrete tools to help you overcome workplace stress.Stephanie Berryman has her masters in leadership development and she has worked as a consultant, coach and corporate trainer for the past 15 years.

In her book, she draws on her personal experience in managing workplace stress as well as what she has learned about stress management from working with hundreds of clients and students. In Stephanie's book, '9 Strategies for Dealing with Workplace Stress', she offers practical strategies for stress management that can be used to address stress in the workplace or in other aspects of life. Here is a sample strategy from the book:8. Build Positive RelationshipsWe spend 8 hours every day with our colleagues. That's usually more time than we spend with the person we've chosen to marry, our friends, or our family. Why would you not want to have pleasant and professional relationships with these people? I work with a lot of teams that are stressed out, with high workloads and big demands, but their number one stressor seems to be interpersonal relationships. It's tough dealing with other people all day long, especially when they aren't people you would have chosen to spend a significant part of your life with. We need to find ways to manage all our relationships professionally and focus on building strong relationships with the people we do enjoy.In a recent study of workplace dynamics reported in the Harvard Business Review, researchers "found that ... having a lot of coworkers who eventually developed into friends, significantly increased employees' performance, as judged by their supervisor. One possible reason for this was people seeking advice. If you have friends in the company, it's far easier to ask for help without fearing you'll be judged a poor performer. In addition, having friends in the company, especially if they work in other departments, gives you access to information through informal networks you might not otherwise get. Another reason might be morale: Employees with close friends at work reported being in a good mood more often, which could spill over into positive effects on the work being performed."If you do choose to build stronger connections at work, take the time to ask people about themselves and their lives. I've been consistently surprised when I get to know people better - everyone has an interesting story. You'll often find common ground, new respect and compassion for others.

In 2014 CBC television and radio investigated the treatment of staff at a high-risk adolescent treatment/corrections centre in British Columbia, Canada. This is a government run facility that put their staff in "Harms Way". WorkSafeBC (The Workers Compensation Board of BC) and the BC Nurses Union cited them for failure to protect their staff. Despite the notoriety of this extreme example, staff indicated they are skeptical that recommended changes will be implemented. This example illustrates the intransigence of some management groups in changing unsafe practices. This book is about the safety of professional health care professionals, therapists and counsellors and their workplaces and how organizations fail to perform their "due diligence" and ethical responsibilities in protecting their employees. It defines the conditions of Secondary Traumatic Stress, Compassion Fatigue, Vicarious Trauma and outlines historical influences, and the role of organizations in creating and perpetuating unsafe workplaces. Dr. Hall's book is uncompromising and thorough in its approach and reveals the inconsistencies in the care of caregivers and the illusion of safety that many professional health care workers work under. She maintains in her book that workplace injuries are costly and entirely preventable and the responsibility, although shared, largely lies with the organizations that employ these workers. These professionals, their clients, their families, and society bear the cost of unsafe workplaces. She also uncovers the socio/political/economic factors that impact this highly preventable situation and offers examples of organizations that are working for change. In summary, Dr. Hall's book is a revealing expose of the workplaces of the people that care for the most vulnerable, sick, and marginalized clients.

Today’s evolving world of work makes it imperative for employers to manage psychosocial hazards (PSH) and risks leading to work-related stress. This book contains essential, general, and country-specific information and templates for the successful management of hazards to prevent psychological harm in the workplace. Acknowledged as global issues affecting all workers and industries, PSH are work factors that have the potential to lead to physical or psychological injury and stress, relating to how work is designed, organized, and managed, and to work relationships and interactions. This book advances the idea that management of PSH, and psychological health and safety, is part of the duty of care of today’s responsible and ethical employers to employees, and that U.S. employers should recognize this responsibility. Clear and easy to follow, this guide presents comprehensive information on addressing PSH, discussing measures taken internationally (laws, guidance, and resources from Europe, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Japan), and a new global standard on psychological health and safety at work. (Note: At times within this book, and Part II in particular, punctuation may be added to quoted provisions for ease of reading and for consistency.) Practitioners and students in the fields of management, occupational health and safety, human resource management, ethics and compliance, occupational health psychology, and organizational psychology will come away with a deeper understanding of the importance of PSH and their management.
