The recession provoked a sharp rise in workplace stress - and UK employers are increasing their efforts to deal with this trend, according to 2010 benchmarking research on stress management from XpertHR.
The 2010 XpertHR benchmarking survey of stress management activities (XpertHR benchmarking subscription required) is based on responses from 98 employers with a combined workforce of more than 300,000 employees.
Key findings of the survey include the following (subscription to XpertHR benchmarking required to access each):

- Almost four-fifths of respondents have acted or are acting to reduce work-related stress.
