National Stress Awareness Day Wednesday 1 November 2017

​In 2016, there were 854 claimants of Social Security short term incapacity benefit due to work-related ill health, further details on their ill health were returned from 29% of those claimants. Of those, stress accounted for 61 % with just over a quarter coming from the finance sector. 

However work-related stress can affect anyone, at any level of a business, and is not confined to specific jobs or industries. 

Stress can occur when an employee is unable to cope with the demands being placed on them, causing high levels of sickness absence and staff turnover.
