LATEST NEWS & EVENTS Alleviating workplace stress 'requires long-term commitment'  Employers, it is claimed, should make a long-term commitment to reducing workplace stress, which can ultimately lead to people gaining advice from an employment law solicitor service or a personal injury lawyer in Southampton. Preventing and managing the factors that lead to stress are the only ways that bosses can make decisive improvements, according to the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. The Health and Safety Executive Management Standards approach and the British Standards Institution's Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 1010 provide guidance in this area and explain how employers can alleviate worker stress, the organisation explained. "It is important to point out [that] alleviating stress requires long-term commitment from employers, as piecemeal approaches or incomplete measures do not show long-term benefits," a spokesperson added. One area that employers should look at to reduce workplace stress is making sure staff take the breaks to which they are entitled. A new survey from Aviva shows 25 per cent of UK workers only take a lunch break if their workload permits it. Posted by Paul Stevens
