 "The
Management Standards will help employers identify and manage
stress at work by providing a framework to pinpoint particular
causes of stress as well as achievable solutions." CIPD
The Health & Safety Executive’s Management
Standards.
The Management Standards represent a set of conditions that
reflect high levels of health, well being and organisational
performance. The standards address 6 key areas of work that,
if properly managed, can help to reduce work related stress.
The
standards are as follows:
- Demands: Workload, work patterns,
and the work environment.
- Control: How much say the
person has in the way they do their work.
- Support: The
encouragement,
sponsorship and resources provided by the organisation,
line management and colleagues
- Relationship: Promoting
positive
working to avoid conflict and dealing with
unacceptable behaviour.
- Role: Whether people understand their
role within the organisation
and whether the organisation ensures that
the person does not have conflicting roles.
- Change: How organisational
change (large or small) is managed and
communicated in the organisation
