Workshops for Managers and Human Resources Departments

These workshops deal with the legal implications of HSE requirements and give advice on how management can set up a programme in line with the HSE directives. In order that employees are protected against stress in the workplace it is essential that management comprehends what needs to be done.

Complying with HSE requirements need not involve great expense for the employer. What is crucial is that they demonstrate that resources are available for employees to turn to.In the long run, money and time will be saved as the threat of absenteeism and lengthy court cases are reduced.

Our consultants will recommend a "safety-net" of experts that management can call on to deal with individual cases of workplace stress.

Workshops average 2-3 hours in duration
