2.5 Stress
The Company acknowledges that there can be negative forms of stress and that stress in the
workplace can be caused by many diverse factors such as:
▪ Job design and lack of control of workload
▪ Working environment
▪ Relationships with others at work
▪ Communication arrangements

The Company also recognises that influences outside the working environment may affect the
health and safety and performance of employees within work.
The Company will play its part in the reduction of stress by:

✓ Ensure as far as possible, that excessive stress is eliminated from the work
environment
✓ Where possible provide support mechanisms for employees suffering from the negative
effects of stress
✓ Encourage a working environment where persons suffering from excessive stress can
approach the Managing Director in confidence
✓ Encourage a culture where stress is not seen as a sign of weakness
✓ Provide employees with information on the effects of stress

Please find additional information in the staff handbook
