STRESS GUIDANCE FOR LINE MANAGERS
Stress is the number one cause of long-term absence, according to the latest research from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.

Our research consistently shows that line managers play a crucial role in managing stress in the workplace, but often do not have the skills or competencies to do so effectively. Our latest research shows a drop in the number of employers offering training to line managers to help them manage and pre-empt stress in the workplace.

Our latest line manager briefing - which covers the measures that can be employed to prevent stress from occurring in the first place - is an ideal support tool for those managing employees suffering from stress-related illness.

Our 2012 calendar is now live, covering: all forthcoming legislation and cases on appeal; conferences and events; religious festivals; bank/public holidays and much more. You can now gain direct access to the calendar from a link on the homepage.
