Where will this take us?
• Towards self-regulating businesses who invest in health and safety as an marker of positive organisational performance
• Towards a workplace culture where the business, moral and ethical cases for health and safety is recognised and accepted

Where is the stress programme now?
Step 1: Inform
Step 2: Educate
Step 3: Enforce
Step 4: Self-regulate
HSE recognises that organisations will
need help and support to do stress risk assessments –
but they should now be doing them

Where to start
• The Management Standards for work-related stress were launched on 3 November 2004
• They will help organisations to undertake a risk assessment
• They combine with HSE’s existing guidance:
• Real solutions, real people; and
• Tackling work-related stress: a managers’ guide
To form the Management Standards Approach

The Management Standards Approach
• The approach is not about eliminating stress entirely. Rather it encourage organisations to take pragmatic steps towards improving their workplace
• The Management Standards approach is targeted principally at medium to large employers
• Employee engagement is critical to the success of the Management Standards approach
• Consultation with the workforce and their representatives is the key to developing effective solutions

The Management Standards- Outline
• The Management Standards look at six areas of work: Demands, Control, Support, Relationships, Role and Change
• Each contains simple statements about what would be happening in an organisation achieving the Standards
• The Standards help organisations to prioritise areas of highest risk
• They are not designed to tackle individual responses or stress outside the workplace

The Management Standards- Process
• Gaining organisational buy in: senior managers, trades unions, line managers and staff
• An initial indicator tool survey across the workforce
• Follow up focus groups to verify the results of the indicator tool and develop solutions
• Implementation/intervention phase
• Review and results
