Occupational
Stress in the workplace is an increasingly significant problem and is a major cause of occupational ill-health. This can result in sickness, absence, high turnover of staff & poor performance in your organisation. The Health & Safety Executive estimates that over ten million working days were lost to stress, depression and anxiety in 2011-2012. Stress undermines our ability to perform at work, affects creativity, the ability to solve problems, decision making relationships at work, makes people more irritable and can lead to physical and mental illness. Stressed individuals are not easy to identify but now a simple blood test can identify executives and key individuals within the organisation who may be at risk. Early identification can lead to early problem resolution, saving significant time and resources.
