Dear Business Owner

You have a solid business plan. You have a brilliant marketing strategy. But do you have a Stress Management Policy?

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, every UK employer has a legal duty to assess and manage work-related stress. You don't need to wait until it becomes a problem or after someone valuable leaves. Whether you have two members of staff or twenty, it is a legal obligation, and the absence of a formal Stress Management Policy leaves your business exposed to financial leakages.

What Happens When You don't Plan for Stress?

Think about the last time a good member of your staff left without a clear explanation of why they were leaving. Or the last decision you made at the end of a long, exhausting week that you later regretted. Or the team member who shows up every day but stopped giving their best months ago. That is unmanaged stress playing out, and it is costing your business real money every single month.

The Health and Safety Executive reports that 17.1 million working days are lost to work-related stress in the UK every year, with presenteeism costing employers an average of £1,652 per employee annually. This is not just statistics but real money leaking from your business. 80% of UK small business owners report experiencing symptoms of poor mental health, including stress with no support.
