Employee Support and Wellbeing at Work
Oakdale’s Wellbeing at Work programmes provide a range of services to support organisations and their employees across the UK. Our programmes are designed to improve morale, effectiveness and reduce absence.
Stress Audits and Stress Management
Oakdale provides stress audits and stress management in line with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
According to the HSE, work-related stress costs the UK more than 13 million days a year and between 30 and 60% of absence is thought to be stress related. Absence costs an average of 930 pounds per year, per employee. Each stress related period of ill health leads to an average of 30.9 days working days lost. Employers have a duty of care to protect the health and safety of their employees at work.
Oakdale can help by:
Identifying and evaluating stress risks in terms of the following aspects of employees’ jobs:
- Demands
- Control
- Support
- Role
- Changes
- Relationships
Additionally Oakdale can provide improvements and solutions that will help to reduce or cope with stress as well as help to implement any changes (e.g. develop new ways of working, improve communication and training etc.)
