Millions of workers every day are affected by stress and it is estimated that two per cent of the UK's Gross National Product is lost to stress-related problems. Workplace stress can be harmful, destructive and costly - a barrier to efficiency and a drain on personal, physical and financial resources. It can also cause illness, suffering and depression.

'Stress Management Made Easy' covers all the common causes of stress, why you should take it seriously and how to audit the amount of stress your employees are under. It then goes on to show you how to fix these problems in areas such as role conflicts, taking and giving criticism, changing organisational culture, job redesign, effective delegation and helping employees with individual assistance programmes.

Stress is often apparent at work and you can save a lot of time and money by trying to combat it.
