How about just reporting that it is Mr Bloggs perception that the role causes him anxiety/reported stress and suggest ways in which this could be approached by all parties e.g. adapting to change, retraining, awareness courses, mentoring etc. then hand back to management. Your scenario is however dependant on what social,psychological and physical effects are being reported or whether they are just resistant to change. Not sure if that helps. Julia Wright.

This is in relation to Jo Bloggs stating (usually when there is a change either in his job role or even job due to reorganisation..that he can not do A B C (travel, meet the public, talk..whatever) as it causes him stress..has done in the past..is doing now..will do if he does it. This is because I am also aware of our duty of care to someone who could be psychologically vulnerable...I hope you understand what I am saying.. So does anyone have a succinct way of relaying to managers what I am trying to say? Thanks Jane ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
