Hi Lin, Apologies for my previous incomplete message. I'm a mental health advisor within OH so do this sort of stuff for a living. I'd be happy for you to give me a call to talk it through. I'll be around monday afternoon if that's any good for you. ------Original Message------ From: Lin Franklin Sender: [log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask] ReplyTo: Occupational Health mailing list Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Stress Awareness Sent: 12 Nov 2010 15:03 I have been approached by HR to give a Stress Awareness talk. As I am fairly new to OH, I was hoping the list would be able to help me answer the following questions which HR would like addressed in the talk. 1) Are risk assessments a legal requirement or best practice? 2) Do the Court look at whether you have implemented HSE guidelines when hearing stress cases? 3) What are advantages of having a stress policy? I have been also asked to put together a list of questions that the HR department can ask employees to help them manage their long term sickness more effectively. Your responses will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Lin ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
