Stress Awareness Week 2025
As Stress Awareness Week 2025 begins, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is reminding employers that work-related stress is one of the leading causes of ill health at work.
In 2023/24, HSE statistics show that 776,000 workers reported suffering from work-related stress, depression or anxiety, accounting for nearly half of all self-reported work-related ill health and leading to an estimated 16.4 million working days lost.
Failing to manage stress effectively can result in reduced productivity and higher staff turnover.
