NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Managing Stress at Work

NEBOSH has collaborated with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), to develop the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Managing Stress at Work.

This qualification is designed to help delegates identify and reduce workplace stressors in order to create a positive, healthier workplace.

“Organisations that take action to reduce work-related stress before it becomes a problem have reported improvements in productivity, staff retention and a reduction in sickness absence. It’s more than that though. It’s about creating the right work environment for people to thrive and if you don’t look at what you are doing at the organisational level, everything else is just a sticking plaster.”

Jen Webster - Occupational Psychologist, HSE
