 Employers in the City of London and throughout the rest of the UK should ensure that they take proper measures to manage and prevent stress among their workforce following the recession.According to a new guidance document published yesterday (September 20th) by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) - which has 135,000 members - in conjunction with Acas, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Health, Work and Wellbeing programme, bosses should take note of their legal obligations to their employees in this regard. Entitled Work-related stress: What the law says, the guide highlights several recent cases where organisations have been forced to pay out significant sums after compensation claims were brought against them for stress. It states that effective people management is crucial for employers as workers face tougher conditions following the economic downturn. Ben Willmot, senior public policy adviser at the CIPD, remarked: "Employers that fail to manage stress effectively risk losing key staff through high absence levels and employee turnover."
