“The adverse reaction people have to excessive pressures or other types of demand placed on them.”

Those pressures may come from many differing sources and when their combined effect is overwhelming, stress occurs. This means that stress is not good for you. Stress is an unhealthy state of body or mind - or both. For many years, people have referred to the Flight or Fight response as the stress response but Flight/Fight is a one off reaction to a perceived challenge or pressure and is not necessarily bad for the individual. It is good to be alerted to possible threats and to prepare to take avoiding action. However, continually being in this state means that the body chemicals associated with Flight/Fight are then constantly being stimulated, especially due to stress at work - and the result is ill health of one type or another. This is stress.

YOUR BUSINESS

CONSEQUENCES OF STRESS TO YOU

YOUR STAFF

• Workers are putting in a staggering 26 million extra hours in the workplace each day, according to new research from Aviva’s latest report on health of the workplace. It shows six in ten employees regularly work beyond their contracted hours, putting in an average of 1.5 hours overtime a day. Nearly one in four claim they work an extra 2-3 hours daily. 79% of these hours are unpaid, which means workers are providing around worth £225 million of ‘free’ hours each day for employers. - Aviva October 2011

• 80% of workers feel stress on the job and nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage stress. And 42% say their co-workers need such help – American Institute of Stress.

• Stress levels in the workplace are rising with 6 in 10 workers in major global economies experiencing increased workplace stress. The Regus Group

• 75% of adults reported experiencing moderate to high levels of stress in the past month and nearly half reported that their stress has increased in the past year – American Psychological Association.

• British businesses lose an estimated £26 billion each year in sickness absence and lost productivity. With greater awareness and mental health support, they said businesses could save one third of these costs - ‘a mammoth £8 billion a year’. - Mind June 2011

• Despite pressure to cut costs, 22% of organisations have increased their spend on employee well being, with only 9% showing a reduction. Those who have increased spending in 2010 have indicated they are likely to increase their well being spend further in 2011. - CIPD Absence Management Survey 2010

• In 2009/10, an estimated 9.8 million working days were lost through work-related stress. Every person experiencing work related stress was off work for an estimated 22.6 days which equates to 0.42 days per worker. - HSE

• Indirect costs of sickness absence have been measured as twice the direct costs i.e. £1,270, making a total of £1,905 per employee per year – typically around 9% of payroll costs. - Norwich Union Healthcare

• In 2008 - for every 80p spent on health promotion and intervention programmes, £4 can be saved due to reduced absenteeism, temporary staff, presenteeism and improved motivation. - The European Network for Workplace Health Promotion

STRESS COSTS!

Organisations are legally obliged to take action against work-related stress (HSE, 2001). Under the Health and Safety at Work etc, Act 1974 and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers have a duty to safeguard worker health. This includes taking measures to assess risks and ensuring employees are not subjected to stress. Furthermore, as work-related stress is not simply a health and safety issue, employers should be made aware of other laws covering their responsibilities with regards to the matter. These include:

• Employers’ Liability Act 1969; • The Public Order Act 1986; • The Disability Discrimination Act 1995; • The Employment Rights Act 1996; • The Protection from Harassment Act 1997; and • The Working Time Regulations 1998.

Apart from specific Acts of Parliament, recent common law cases have highlighted the employer’s duty of care to protect employees from personal injury resulting from psychiatric damage, and of potential legal liability if they fail to fulfil their obligations (Earnshaw and Cooper, 2001).

Risk Assessment

In accordance with the Health and Safety (Consultation with Employees) Regulations 1996, prior to embarking on the risk assessment process, it is necessary to communicate with employees and / or employee representatives on the intended plan of action to tackle work - related stress. This process, as discussed in HSG 218 – the managers’ guide to tackling work - related stress (HSE, 2001), may include:

1. Discussing work-related stress with staff and explaining the need to identify problem areas; 2. Introducing staff to members of the action committee responsible for co-ordinating the plan; 3. Informing staff and committee members of desired goals and the priority to assess risks; and 4. Implementing the risk assessment plan and agreeing on a schedule for reporting findings. This include:

• Identify Hazards • Decide who might be harmed • Evaluate • Record any significant findings from the assessment • Review the assessment at regular intervals

YOUR LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY

In 2008 - for every 80p spent on health promotion and intervention programmes, £4 can be saved due to reduced absenteeism, temporary staff, presenteeism and improved motivation

It will eradicate most difficulties that may yet quickly escalate into full-blown discontent, pent-up frustrations, anger outbursts, burnout to staff, or staff in-fighting, and absenteeism, leading to reduction in your company costs, production loss, increasing health costs and greater losses.

THE TOOLS OUR COACHES USEThe Stress Diaries are the core tools our Stress Coaches use to assess, ilicit information and build their group sessions around. They are very useful tool for anyone suffering from stress. It is practical, easy and effective for anyone wanting to really get to grips with their stress suffering.

THE STRESS DIARIES PROGRAM MAKES STRESS MANAGEMENT THE EASIEST METHOD TO MASTER

Once you start your daily entries you’ll begin to see the connections between your stress symptoms, the source of your stress, your awareness of your coping skills, your stress triggers and its impact on your behaviour and you as a person. Stress Diaries are important for understanding the causes of short-term stress in your life. They also give you an important insight into how you react to stress, and help you to identify the level of stress at which you prefer to operate. The idea behind Stress Diaries is that, on a regular basis, you record information about the stresses you are experiencing, so that you can analyse these stresses and then manage them. This is important because often these stresses flit in and out of our minds without getting the attention and focus that they deserve. As well as helping you capture and analyse the most common sources of stress in your life, Stress Diaries help you to understand:

• The causes of stress in more detail;• The levels of stress at which you operate most effectively; and• How you react to stress, and whether your reactions are appropriate and useful.

Stress Diaries, therefore, give anyone suffering from stress the important information they need to manage stress. It allow you to see the bigger perspective, yet also focus on intense details, and present issues. In the Diaries, every week is specifically structured and set out for you. It is simplistically for anyone to ‘fill in the blanks’, yet gather all the crucial information to address the real issues. Participants purchase their own set of diaries when attending weekly group sessions, and from their daily entries, the stress coach will monitor participants’ progress from week to week with the included weekly summaries included in the diaries. It easily inform you of the needs of your group participants and helps you structure your weekly stress coaching session. A monthly summary is included in the diaries and makes it easy to monitor participants’ progress and see their skills deficits. You will simply teach them the coping skills they require from week to week. Your training course will equip you to do this and you will be trained to deliver a structured course based on the stress diaries, with all manuals and material you require. Upon group conclusion, you will issue participants with a special Certificate we provide free to you, and conclude a post program assessment [this is essential for your personal and business performance to inform you which areas can be improved upon].

The Stress Diaries are a special set of books created by Gino Norris as author along with a specialist Stress Coaching Program to deal with stress. It is a highly unique, practical and structured assessment and skills intervention tool. With this tool your competence at managing your stress becomes so much easier. By using the Stress Diaries you keep regular daily entries of all stressful incidents as they occur for the 4 week period. As you gather this information you will become so much more aware of the impact stress has on you, as an individual. As we all experience stress in a totally unique and different way and on a different level, both on a daily and long-term basis, the Diaries become a personal and confidential insight into how you think about, react, respond and adapt to stressful events.
