Stress Awareness Week 2025
As Stress Awareness Week 2025 begins, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reminds employers that work-related stress is a leading cause of ill health at work and preventing it is a legal duty.
In 2023/24, HSE statistics show that 776,000 workers reported suffering from work-related stress, depression or anxiety, accounting for nearly half of all self-reported work-related ill health and leading to an estimated 16.4 million working days lost.
Failing to manage stress effectively can result in reduced productivity and higher staff turnover.
