Many people feel that there is nothing to be done when it comes to work-related stress. However, this is not the case. Your employer has a duty of care to ensure that the workforce is happy and healthy at work. If you are not being given adequate support at work, this can result in psychiatric issues and, in many cases, anxiety and depression.

Your Employer’s Responsibility

If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, it is your employer’s responsibility to accommodate your condition. This is could include the following workplace adjustments:

  • Extra support or supervision
  • Reduced working hours
  • Reallocation of work
  • Provision of confidential counselling

If your employer fails to manage your work-related stress, then you could be in a position to bring a claim against them. Employers must consider taking the following actions if you flag up work-related stress:

  • Using return to work interviews – this should allow employees to voice concerns after sickness leave with regards to stress-related absence.
  • Creating a stress at work policy – this should give employees guidance on how to deal with the effects of stress at work.
  • Carrying out a stress at work audit – this should encourage employees to list their concerns in respect of stress at work.
  • Training of management to recognise situations likely to cause stress in the workplace, how to a identify symptoms of stress, and how to manage employee’s stress levels.
