April is Stress Awareness Month: tackle stress in the workplace with five steps

This April, Britain’s bosses are being invited to follow five simple steps to prevent and reduce stress in their workplace.

The Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) Working Minds campaign has called on employers to support workers mental health during Stress Awareness Month. Preventing work-related stress isn’t just the right thing to do by workers, it’s the law. All employers are required to prevent work related stress to support good mental health in the workplace. Over the course of the month, employers are encouraged to focus on one of the campaign’s 5 R's, for each of the five weeks.

Reach out and have conversations
Recognise the signs and causes of stress
Respond to any risks identified by agreeing action points
Reflect on the actions taken – have things improved?
Make it Routine to check back in on how things are going

Although employers have a legal duty to protect employees from stress at work, diagnosing and treating stress isn’t your responsibility. Your responsibility is to identify the risks of stress and act on them.  By booking one of our First Aid for Mental Health courses or attending one of our open courses you can help support your employees and colleagues by knowing how to recognise the signs and symptoms of stress, which can be one of the common causes of Mental Health problems and learn how to manage these within the workplace and how to offer support to those that need it.
