1 in 4 take time off work due to stress but don't admit it

Lisa Gillespie, Director of HR Services at Moorepay, gives top tips for dealing with stress:

Work in teams - Shared tasks are less likely to overwhelm staff and if someone is having a bad day, others help support getting the tasks completed

Offer external counselling for life events - Money, relationships and other domestic issues can reduce resilience to ordinary work stressors

Make time in 121s - Allow workers to open up about any problems which are affecting their work; managers should develop a good rapport with staff to enable such issues to be discussed.
