Workplace Wellbeing | Mental health experts on how to help employees manage their stress

November 7-11 2022 marked International Stress Awareness Week, a major annual event focusing on stress management and campaigning against the stigma associated with stress and mental health issues.

Organised by International Stress Management Association (ISMA), the campaign was created in 2018 to raise awareness about stress prevention, with the highlight of the week being Stress Awareness Day.

Sadly, this year’s event appears to be more important than ever, particularly for those within the people function. Recent research from Gartner found that 2022 has been the worst year on record for stress and worry amongst employees, with 58% of employees reporting high levels of stress and 48% experiencing feelings of worry, according to the study.

Therefore, to mark the final day of this incredibly important awareness campaign, HR Grapevine has compiled expert advice on what HR leaders can do to help their employees manage their mental wellbeing.
