Description
Pressure at work is part of our day to day life and keeps us motivated and productive. However, if there is too much pressure or it last over a long period of time, it leads to stress which can a significant impact on your physical and mental health.
Often work-related stress comes from too much work and not enough time to complete it. Other causes of stress could be lack of control over the work being done, such as if there are conflicting priorities or major changes going on.
However, there are actions you can take to eliminate or reduce the stress these things cause.
From a legal point of view The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 requires employers to provide employees with a safe and healthy working environment.
