In the UK stress is a major issue. It is common, on the increase and prevalent at all levels in the workforce. A recent report cited
these figures:
40% of members of the Institute of Directors believe stress is a major problem in their organisation
66% of union safety reps say stress is their greatest concern
75% of Chartered Management Institute managers say stress adversely affects their job, health, happiness and 70% want stress-busting
training for their team.
It is more important than ever that people take stock and decide on their own work-life balance.
