Product Description

Review

"Written with the intent of being a 'user friendly reference manual, to be dipped into whenever required', [this book] achieves its aims admirably. Well written and easy to read, the book is logical and competent. It should find a place on the corporate bookshelves of the UK, and will be increasingly well thumbed."
- HEALTH AND SAFEETY AT WORK (July 2004)


Product Description

(then automatic feed into ATI Copy - External and Copy (Non-Technical/Reseller) - External)
With one in five workers reported as having felt under extreme pressure at work, stress Is overtaking the common cold as the biggest cause of absence from work.

Cases such as Walker v Northumberland County Council [1995] have put stress firmly on the workplace agenda. The HSE has established stress in the workplace as a health and safety issue that needs to be recognised and managed through the use of risk assessment. Management in all organisations is now under pressure to put preventative measures in placed and to establish effective management techniques in order to tackle work-related stress.

Tolley's Managing Stress in the Workplace is a practical handbook that guides the manager through their responsibilities in this difficult area. It provides clear guidelines on stress management and prevention techniques and contains useful checklists, best practice recommendations, and case studies throughout, as well as HSE guidance.

Tolley's Managing Stress in the Workplace addresses the key issues that organisations face today, including:
* The nature of stress and its relationship to pressure
* The legal and cost implications on the organisation
* Identifying the current causes and effects
* Bullying and violence at work
* Post-traumatic stress after a critical incident
* Stress and personal health issues
* Individual stress management strategies
* Developing and maintaining a robust organisation

Being better able to effectively handle work-related stress makes for a healthier workforce, lower absenteeism, increased performance and lower staff turnover - all of which means that having the right systems in place could save your organisation substantial costs.

Tolley's Managing Stress in the Workplace is a reference manual for managers, health and safety, personnel and occupational health advisors.

* Provides clear guidelines on stress management and prevention techniques
* Contains useful checklists, best practice recommendations, and case studies throughout, as well as HSE guidance
* Shows how to establish effective management techniques in order to tackle work-related stress

4.0 out of 5 stars An informative reference book, well written, 3 Jun 2003
** PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A CORRECTED VERSION OF THE REVIEW SUBMITTED EARLIER. (LAST WORD OF THE FIRST PARA SHOULD HAVE READ 'LITTLE UNDERSTOOD' NOT 'MISUNDERSTOOD'.
_______________________________________________________

There are very few really informative books I have found on this subject that are devoid of gratuitous psycho-babble, but this is one. Written in plain English and with an easily absorbed style, I found it to be interesting and helpful in its comprehensive coverage of a subject that is, (in my experience as an HR director), all too often little understood.

I particularly liked the clear layout and the enumerated points to remember at the end of each chapter (although one or two of the short quotations at the beginning of some chapters, left me scratching my head as to their perceived relevance). However, the excellent case-studies, illustrating many of the points raised in the text, are a good example of how books on a comparatively difficult subject such as this, should be approached with the reader firmly in mind.

Overall, an excellent management guide that was long overdue and that should be, I would think, a valuable resource for both professionals and non-professionals alike. If I were an employer, I would certainly have a copy on my shelf - not least to ensure that my firm was compliant with current employment legislation and that I would not find myself in the position of being on the wrong end of a substantial compensation claim!
