Occupational Stress Claims
It has been reported that more than a million of us have experienced a level of work related stress, which has left us feeling ill. Stress is the reaction we have to excessive amounts of pressure and demands that are placed upon us in our work environment.
In itself stress isn’t considered harmful. However stress can easily cross a line and become unmanageable, often leading to depression as well as affecting your physical health.
Some common causes of stress are factors such as bereavement, divorce and work related stress. Work related stress is the second biggest health problem in the UK surrounding occupational health. The effects of work related stress can often lead to feeling undervalued, having poor relationships with colleagues, interference with your private life, loss of control over the way your work is done and even the threat of unemployment.
Common signs of stress are;
- Loss of concentration
- sensitivity to criticism
- Difficulty getting to sleep
- Waking up early
- Increased irritability
If you do feel you are suffering from stress talk to someone you trust and get counselling support if it is needed. You could also take a long weekend off to relax and generally get yourself back into a decent frame of mind.
Work related stress can also be tackled by means such as:
- Making sure you know about your companies policies on harassment, bullying and racism issues.
- Make sure your work environment is comfortable
- Talk about work related problems with your manager/supervisor so issues can be resolved
