Tackling Stress at Work

work2health Ltd is a specialist consultancy with many years experience of providing strategic policy guidance, advice and practical support to public and private sector organisations in Britain and Europe on the issue of workplace stress.

Workplace stress is now one of the major influences affecting the well-being of individuals, organisations and state economies. It has become such a complex, potentially damaging and socially challenging issue that many organisations are seeking expert help to protect themselves and their greatest asset – their people.

Evidence suggests that about half a million people in the UK experience work-related stress at a level they believe is making them ill and a total of 12.8 million working days were lost to stress, depression and anxiety in 2003–4.

work2health Ltd combines the latest learning, methods and legislation with communication skills and professional sensitivity to provide organisations with tailored advice and actions to assist them in the promotion and maintenance of healthier and happier workforces.

The principal services that work2health Ltd offer in the area of stress are:

  • Strategy development

  • The provision of a range of training workshops to include:
    • risk assessment for stress,
