Stress in the workplace

Care Afloat Ltd is committed to protecting the health, safety and welfare of its employees and workers. We recognise that workplace stress is a health and safety issue and therefore acknowledge the importance of preventing, managing, and reducing the causes of stress. The well-being of a workforce is essential to both their physical and mental health. Whilst pressures from outside work can affect health and well-being, an employer should be controlling the factors within the workplace that may affect the health of employees by promoting a good, supportive working climate and environment, and a culture of openness, where employees concerned about their well-being can access appropriate support.

It’s helpful to learn how to manage stress caused by work. If you often experience feelings of stress, you might be at risk of developing a mental health problem like depression or anxiety.
