At
NoStressNow
we
treat the whole person the
holistic way.
We
treat each employee as an
individual & respect the fact
that each person deals with day to
day stresses in their own way.
We understand that dealing
with stress in the long-term means
helping people take steps to
understand themselves, their
symptoms and their circumstances.
It is only then that they feel
empowered enough to do make any
changes needed.
Many
conventional Stress Management
Programmes fall at the first hurdle,
by offering a very expensive
'quick-fix' approach in a one- or
two-day course.
The most these can do is raise
awareness of stress.
NoStressNow
offers
a comprehensive scheme which is
tailored for each company's needs,
and within that, to the needs of
each individual person.
Our Programme is educative - helping
people take responsibility and take
care of themselves.
In
July 2002 Elizabeth Gyngell, Head
of HSE's Health Directorate,
Said:
"Stress
management should become part of
corporate culture as a
preventative measure. Our aim is
to prevent people being affected
by work-related stress. There are
early warning signs of stress that
managers can look for and steps
that can be taken to reduce its
effects."

Just
some of the benefits of a Stress
Management Programme:
|
Works
as a �front
line� against
sickness and injury |
|
|
Any
cases we pick up can be
referred to your
Occupational Health Doctor,
Human Resources or the
employees GP
|
|
|
Avoid
penalties for discriminating
against disabled workers
|
|
|
Saves
money in the long term by
helping to prevent
absenteeism & its
associated costs
|
|
|
Helps
you keep
valued staff &
retain a healthy workforce |
|
|
Prolonged
stress can lead to tiredness
and irritability, a
weakening of the immune
system and the development
of physical illness |
|
|
Protects
against the ever increasing
threat of litigation |
Cases
such as the groundbreaking Lancaster
v Birmingham City Council where
an employer,
for the first time, admitted
liability for personal injury caused
by stress. And where a British
court, for the first time, set the
level of compensation for
work-related stress.
Or the landmark case of Walker
v. Northumberland County Council
where a social worker John Walker, a
Unison member, received
over �400,000 in compensation
for work related stress when the
court ruled this was due to
"Management failure" of
his employer.
