Work Stress Early Action Toolkit

Stop issues before they lead to absence, lost staff or formal assessments.

​

Created by an experienced Occupational Health Advisor with advanced study in Organisational & Business Psychology.

What this toolkit does

Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and HSE Management Standards, employers have a legal duty to manage work-related stress. Yet by the time formal assessments happen, problems have usually already taken hold.

Latest HSE figures show work-related stress accounts for 52% of all work-related ill health and over 22 million working days lost each year.

Important difference:

A formal stress risk assessment is what you do to record and manage risks legally. This toolkit is what you use to resolve concerns early, so you may well avoid needing to carry out that formal  process at all.

This toolkit gives you clear, practical ways to support employees and address issues early. Designed for busy managers – no jargon, no extra work, just guidance you can use straight away.

What you receive

You get proven ways to support employees experiencing work-related stress, clear guidance on when further support is needed, and simple reminders to keep progress on track.

How this works for you

This is a one-off resource that you can use again and again, for every member of your team.
