Dealing with stress in your team

If you think that you may have a problem with work-related stress within your team, you should contact your customary Human Resources Adviser to discuss further. The Department of Human Resources has tools available, such as a Wellbeing Risk Assessment which can be used to help identify the potential sources of stress and ways to resolve.

If you or a colleague is concerned about a member of staff, or if they have mentioned their own concerns to you, you should speak to your customary HR Adviser.
