Stress at work
Stress at work is a common problem.
But when stress at work gets too much and effects your performance, and your home life, then matters should be addressed as quickly as possible.
And if the stress at work is directly down to unfair conditions at work, then a claim can be made.
Stress at work shows itself in many forms, so keep an eye open for the common symptoms which include headaches, palpitations, irregular breathing, panic attacks, crying, stomach ache, fainting and black-outs.
The long term effects of stress at work can be asthma, depression, heart attacks and ulcers. If not addressed, it can cause major problems.
A number of things can cause stress at work, including bullying, harassment, unreasonable demands, rows over pay/conditions, disagreements with colleagues, bad working conditions, or, physical danger.
Your employer has a duty to ensure that you are as free from stress at work as possible. This does not mean an excuse to underperform, but a right to operate within the perimeters of your job description.
Stress at work has to be treated seriously and not regarded as something to be borne without complaint.
