Work-related stress is now the leading cause of long-term absence in safety-critical industries across the UK. In this blog, we investigate the three questions every employer in high-risk industries should be asking: What causes stress-related absenteeism? Why is it rising? How can we tackle it effectively?

Rates of anxiety, burnout and mental strain continue to climb and create workplace stress in young people. In safety‑critical environments, where workloads are intense and operational pressures are high, these findings can leave many organisations unsure of how best to respond. Our latest blog explores the causes of this and how employees can support early-career professionals.

Workplace stress and burnout are year-round issues, but they often peak during the summer. The results can range from increased turnover to serious risk of accidents, especially in industries such as construction, manufacturing and logistics where safety is critical. Understanding burnout is key to maintaining a safe and productive workforce, so in this blog post we look at ways to mitigate stress and make the most of the summer.
