April is stress awareness month

The rate of work-related stress, depression and anxiety has increased in recent years, and the pandemic has presented new challenges that have put a huge strain on people’s mental health and wellbeing.

Recognising the signs of stress will help employers take steps to prevent, reduce and manage stress in the workplace.

HSE has a range of practical support and guidance available including risk assessment templates, talking toolkits to help start conversations, workbooks, posters, a new mobile app and a new automated stress indicator tool (SIT).
