Work Related Stress United Kingdom

Posted on November 29, 2010
This is an area I am particularly interested in, whether helping employers or employees. I have developed a training course targetted to the needs of both groups, as well as an independent support package for managers and staff. For your interest this is a response I recently posted on the H.S.E forum on work related stress, and response I received:-
