Acas stress relief

Following the receipt of more than 11,000 calls about stress last year, workplace advisory service Acas has issued new guidance on the subject, covering the signs of stress, its causes and how to deal with the problem. Acas senior guidance adviser John Palmer said: “The UK economy lost more than 11 million working days last year due to stress-related absence, so everybody benefits if managers know how to support stressed out staff.”
