How to help employees deal with recession-linked stress in 2009

The 2009 recession is causing high anxiety, resulting in a spike in stress levels among UK workers, according to research reported on the BBC website. This has potentially severe consequences for the UK's already-beleaguered businesses.

The survey from Norwich Union Healthcare (which the likes of Ringo Starr, Alice Cooper, et al, would no doubt strive to remind us is transforming into Aviva) finds that half of workers surveyed believe they are suffering from the impact of stress, while a further one in five believes they are suffering from depression.

There is much that employers can do to help employees deal with stress, and luckily there is much that XpertHR has to offer to help employers achieve this.
