Outcomes of the Stress Survey 2015
26 Apr 2016
To mark Stress Awareness Month during April, here are the results of the University's most recent survey on stress at work and a new online stress management resource
The University's most recent survey on stress at work was carried out in March/April 2015 as part of the Staff Survey, which achieved a response rate of 70%.
Compared to the 2013 Stress Survey, the 2015 results remain static. Differing medium and low levels of reported stress risk are indicated across the six key work areas, while there remains a higher priority risk of stress for staff in academic, technical/IT and manual groups - with the addition of Library staff in 2015 - in the areas of relationships between managers and colleagues at work, and in the category of bullying and harassment.
Support and guidance
Managers and individual members of staff can obtain support and guidance through the suite of tools available at:
- Management of Stress at Work Policy
- Work-Related Stress (e-learning resource newly launched)
- 'We Get It' (includes a ‘report and support’ option for staff experiencing issues at work)
