Managing Stress in the Workplace Policy Writers
What are Managing Stress in the Workplace Policies?
Managing stress in the workplace policies outline how organisations identify, reduce and respond to work-related stress to support employee wellbeing, performance and mental health.
These policies help businesses create a supportive culture, meet their legal obligations under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and follow best practice guidance from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
What Do Managing Stress in the Workplace Policies Cover?
A workplace stress policy typically includes:
-
The organisation’s commitment to mental wellbeing and early intervention
-
Recognition of common causes of workplace stress, such as workload, change, conflict or lack of support
-
Responsibilities of managers and employees in recognising and reporting signs of stress
-
Risk assessment procedures and use of tools like the HSE Stress Management Standards
-
Access to support services such as occupational health, EAPs or mental health first aiders
-
Procedures for managing absence and return to work in stress-related cases
-
Links to sickness absence, wellbeing, flexible working and performance management policies
A clear policy helps ensure that stress is taken seriously and not seen as a personal weakness or performance issue. It provides structure for addressing problems before they escalate, creating a safer, more supportive environment.
Organisations that actively manage stress benefit from reduced absenteeism, better retention and improved morale. They also show that they value the emotional and psychological health of their workforce.
By embedding practical, proactive measures for managing stress, businesses can build resilience, support their teams and meet their duty of care as responsible employers.
