Stress Awareness Month is an annual event observed every April since 1992, dedicated to increasing public awareness about the causes and cures of stress.
Stress in the workplace can have a major impact on our mental health, so is a consideration as part of becoming accrEDIted©. How do you look after your employees stress levels and mental health?
If you don’t already have a mental health or wellbeing policy in place, or provide access to support via your workplace, simple steps like:
- Setting realistic and achievable targets or deadlines
- Making sure people are not regularly having to work additional hours to get through the workload
- Creating an open and safe environment where people are not afraid to ask for help and support
can help reduce stress and improve mental health. Which, as well as being kinder to your people, also reduces sickness and absences, boosting productivity!
We love this year’s theme for Stress Awareness Month #LeadWithLove We particularly like the Kindness Calendar from the Stress Management Society as an easy and free way to #LeadWithLove this month.
Creating brilliant environments, where everyone belongs and can flourish as their true selves, doesn’t happen by accident. If you would like to know how becoming accrEDIted© can help you improve EDI for all your people, please get in touch.
