• 52% of all work-related ill health
• 62% of all working days lost due to work-related ill health

• the average UK organisation loses around £1,300 per employee each year due to stress-related absence
• in some sectors, this can rise to £2,500 per employee

However, these costs increase when you factor in lower productivity, staff turnover, and poorer outcomes for customers.

Reflection: If work-related stress is already affecting performance, where is it showing up first in your organisation?

Identify risks and take action

The data shows that work-related stress has a measurable financial impact on organisational performance. Yet there is also evidence that taking action can deliver value.

The HSE Stress Indicator Tool assesses the current state of your organisation, identifies areas of risk, and prioritises targeted interventions. With evidence showing an average return of £5 for every £1 invested in work-related stress management, there is a clear opportunity for organisations to strengthen their approach in this area.

If you would like to explore how the tool could work in your organisation, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss your requirements. Book a meeting with a member of our team to see how you can strengthen your approach to managing health and safety.
