To ensure managers know how to identify and treat stress, our Managing Stress in your Team course is specially designed to help mitigate and control work-related stress risks.

Our Managing Stress in Your Team course is broken down into four modules.
Our Managing Stress in Your Team course is broken down into four modules.
It is the responsibility of managers to assess the risk of stress to all of the employees that they manage. This module explores stress risk assessments for groups and individuals, since managers must be trained to complete them effectively and to recognise and manage signs of stress their teams. If recognised early, problems can be mitigated.
Managers who know the signs of stress can spot them in their teams more easily. These range between physical, emotional, cognitive and behavioural changes, all of which managers are in a good position to notice in their reports. This module covers individual stress risk assessments, their importance and how to conduct them effectively.
There are many indicators of stress that show up within the team and dynamics between team members. Managers should carry out a proactive team risk assessment to identify potential causes of stress and put control measures in place. This module also contains other solutions to team stress, including practical support for team members.
The working relationship between employees and their direct managers has a significant impact on stress levels and job fulfilment. This module explores the Health and Safety Executive’s stress management competency indicator tool, which helps managers assess the characteristics of their own behaviour and how it affects their team.
Learners are assessed via multiple-choice questions about work-related stress, its causes and steps they can take to minimise the effects of stress. They must achieve a mark of 80% or above to pass.

Millions of working days are lost to work-related stress and its associated health problems every year. When our stress is allowed to continue unchecked, it can lead to depression and anxiety, which can have devastating effects.
Controlling work-related stress is a shared responsibility between employers and employees themselves. Managers who have received training in stress management are far more likely to spot the signs of stress in their teams and manage it before it becomes a health issue.
There are many warning signs of stress that managers and supervisors can watch out for in their teams. They include changes in attitude, withdrawal, apathy and emotional outbursts. It is important all managers keep track of stress in their teams to provide proper support to people who might be struggling.
Stress has a negative effect on mental health. Over time, stress can cause long-term mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, which are serious conditions requiring medical treatment. Employers have a duty of care for their staff to make sure their exposure to stress is lessened and they have the right support.
Stress affects the body by putting more pressure on the heart, the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system. Long-term, it can lead to lasting damage such as heart disease or high blood pressure. Stress is therefore both a mental and a physical danger to the people suffering from it.
