Bupa Stress Management

Taking the stress out of stress management

Stress is one of the biggest causes of workplace absence in the UK1 and over half of small and medium sized businesses claim it is an issue in their workplace2 - but it needn't be. By recognising the symptoms early and working with your employees to overcome any issues, you can help reduce the impact that stress related absence has on your business.

A quarter of small business owners do not feel confident that they would be able to recognise and address ill health, stress or depression among their employees3. In addition to this 2 in 5 (41 percent admit they never speak to their employees about their physical or mental health.
