In 2004 the Health and Safety Executive will publish a set of management standards that sets out a manager's responsibilities for managing stress in their team members. These guidelines are considered to be best practice against which organisations will be measured. Organisations that train their managers to understand these responsibilities and the practical steps they can take to meet them will be reducing their risk of compensation claims and are likely to reduce the incidents of illness and absence through work related stress.
