Stress at Work Compensation
Are you entitled to make a claim for stress at work?
Getting compensation for stress at work is necessary for those seriously affected by adverse working conditions in which an individual has experienced a disproportionate amount of pressure or has been subject to such things as ‘blame culture’, boredom of repetitive work, lack of support or even bullying. For more information, see the official HSE site on work-related stress.
The effects of stress at work can be numerous and involve:
- Insomnia
- Depression
- Overindulgence of unhealthy, fatty foods which can exasperate depression and insomnia
- Increased blood pressure
- Lack of concentration, which would mean poorer level of productivity at work
- Rapid weight loss and skin complaints such as rashes
There are generally two causes of stress at work and these are issues with psychological health and physical health. Teachers, vets and social services are more likely to suffer from psychological stress; whereas prison officers, police and customer services are likely to suffer from physical health and stress.
