A Report on Stress Audit of Executives

Table of contents

Project Synopsis

It is well recognized that stress at work is a massive problem. Any stress can reduce employee well-being and it is well recognised that excessive or sustained work pressure can lead to stress. Occupational stress poses a risk to most businesses and compensation payments for stress are increasing. It is important to meet the challenge by dealing with excessive and long-term causes of stress.

Job stress can be defined as the harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker. Job stress can lead to poor health and even injury.

The main aim of stress audit is to analyze the nature and extent of stress so that appropriate strategies to distress employees can be designed. Stress audit and work life balance go hand in hand. The aim of stress audit is to bring to forefront the key stressors which need to be reduced.

The starting point for effective prevention of stress is good people management. CIPD believes that people work more effectively within a participative management style and people are better motivated when work satisfies economic, social and psychological needs. Employers who pay attention to job design and work organisation and equip managers at all levels with people management skills will support employee engagement and wellbeing.

Organisations should adopt a positive attitude towards those recovering from mental health issues. Where possible reasonable adjustments should be made to ensure that this part of the workforce is able to enter employment and make a positive contribution to the organisation
