The CIPD has worked with the Health and Safety Executive to develop practical help for HR and line managers to tackle the issue of stress at work.
From this work we have produced practical guidance drawing on 19 key management behaviours that play a vital role in preventing, identifying, and tackling stress effectively. The behaviours have been used to create a competency framework enabling line managers to work on the skills required to reduce and prevent stress at work.
The guidance is presented in the format of three separate leaflets tailored to the needs of line managers and HR professionals.
Managing stress at work: a competency framework for line managers
Line management behaviour and stress at work: guidance for line managers
Gives the competency framework with additional advice for line managers on:
