NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Managing Stress at Work
The HSE Statistics for 2021/22 show that 914,000 workers suffering work-related stress, depression or anxiety. It is consistently the number one reason for absences in the workplace that amount to substantial personal and organisational costs.
NEBOSH has collaborated with the Health and Safety Executive, to develop the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Managing Stress at Work.
This qualification is designed to help delegates identify and reduce workplace stressors in order to create a positive, healthier workplace.
Though various polls and research it has been found that a high percentage of workers feel stressed and are struggling to cope. Less than half of those are willing to speak up and talk about it.
Added to that, organisational demands and priorities don’t always factor in employee wellbeing, which eventually takes its toll in high sickness absence, errors, low productivity, and staff turnover all of which impacts profits.
Furthermore, the personal cost is significant to your workers in their personal lives – leading to a potential downward spiral and suffering of them and indirectly but just as seriously their family and their work colleagues.
By taking the time to educate key persons within the business through this nationally recognised certificate, could be the turning point needed to get the business back on track. Your workers and their mental health will thank you for it and the organisation will see it in the ‘bottom line’.
