What
needs to
be done?
Make yourself aware of the six HSE management
standards that focus on: Demands, Control,
Support, Relationships, Role, Change. These
are short, easy to read documents that are worth
looking at. They can be found at:
http://www.hse.gov.uk/stress/standards/
However, if the pressure is so much,
for example too much work in too little
time, corrosive or unfriendly working
culture, etc, this can have a negative
impact on an individual’s health and
wellbeing.
Talking to your staff, looking for and
responding to signs that the individual
is under too much pressure can
really help to create a beneficial and
balanced work environment.

Quality of performance
In order to perform well, people need
a certain amount of pressure in the
form of clarity of purpose and roles,
as well as the tools and opportunity to
do their job well.

effected by these issues
When managers seek to review the
wellbeing of their people, they look to
answer the following questions:
•
•
•
•
•
Is there any friction within the team?
Are your employees overloaded with work?
Do they have the necessary training to complete their work?
Are roles and responsibilities clear to all?
Are there any problems with work/life balance?
Managing
wellbeing is about
trying to improve the
workspace, even when
there are no current
issues to resolve
Over time there
may be highs and
lows of workload
but, in general,
you should aim for
peak performance
