Stress Awareness Week 2025: Time to Act on Work-Related Stress
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.
Stress Risk Assessments: A Legal Requirement
Employers must assess and manage the risks of work-related stress in the same way as other health and safety risks.
Preventing work-related stress is a legal duty, not just a ‘nice-to-have’.
