Stress Management

 




The University is committed via this policy and other guidance to establishing an effective and consistent approach to the prevention of work-related stress throughout the university and to provide supporting services where cases of stress are identified.

This will be achieved through the following:-

 
  • Identifying workplace stressors and carrying out risk assessments to eliminate or control the risks from stress
  • Providing good stress management training for all appropriate managers
  • Establishing arrangements and procedures for the early identification and dealing with cases of stress
  • Providing a confidential counselling service to support staff in managing personal stress levels
  • Providing sensitive and planned management of return to work, following sickness absence
  • Promoting partnerships between management, individuals and the recognised trade unions, with the aim of reducing stress in the workplace
  • Decide on improvement targets and action plans, in consultation with staff representatives.
