Employers are in danger of being overwhelmed by a flood of compensation claims because they are failing to introduce measures to combat stress in the workplace, according to a study published today.
The survey of 1,400 per-sonnel managers reveals that 80 per cent of organ-isations have not introduced employee stress risk assessments required by the Health & Safety Executive. The HSE has targeted the financial services, health and education sectors for particular scrutiny to ensure employers are fulfilling their statutory duties.
