What is “workplace stress”?
The Health and Safety Executive define stress as, “the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure or other types of demand placed on them”. This definition draws a distinction between ‘pressure’, and a ‘reaction’ that a person may have when experiencing excessive pressure. An acceptable degree of pressure will usually produce positive outcomes and experiences if it is managed correctly by the individual, and the Company. However, when the pressure experienced is excessive, or the pressure is managed ineffectively, stress can be detrimental to both health and wellbeing.
