Secondary

The second level of intervention sets out to improve the overall situation in the workplace by implementing the actions revealed as necessary by the risk assessment process.

This might include, for example:

Stress Training for Managers/Supervisors to help them understand their personal responsibilities and duties with regard to stress amongst their staff. This training will also enable them to be proactive in dealing with stress and be aware of HSE best practice.

Stress Awareness Training to educate all employees about what they can be doing to reduce their own stress levels.

Complementary Training to assist in areas where lack of skills can produce high stress levels. Time Management, Assertion, Dealing with Change, Interpersonal Skills and Effective Presentation are good examples.

Self Help Staff Booklets to give all members of staff an easy reference guide on how they can help themselves and be proactive about stress.

A Health and Well-being Policy, if not already in existence, being drawn up and circulated to all staff stating clearly the organisation's written policy on stress.
