Ergology campaignsJob-stress and other forms of slow-stress are still largely misunderstood and there is a dearth of people trained to cure the symptoms associated with it. So it’s natural that our prime activities are research, the training of people to both cure and facilitate the minimalisation of stress and, of course, the provision of advice to companies and to individuals. But we’re proud too of our campaigns. Job-stress causes UK workers to go sick 13.8 million days a year (SOURCE: Health & Safety Executive at the Department of Work & Pensions and Personnel Today) Job-stress costs industry £100 billion a year (SOURCE: Mental health charity MIND) So to us it seems madness that many people affected by stress don’t know how to find help. That means unnecessary misery, a constant, pointless drain on the ability of employers to work effectively and, too often, tragedy. Yet when did you last see a poster on the way to work about job-stress? We believe, from our own observations, that excess stress issues are more successfully addressed if the associated physiological symptoms are treated at the same time as the emotional ones. But there are no funds to set up model teaching clinics where this can be done and clinicians such as dentists, GPs and sleep therapists can learn how best to work together. We have seen, too, that if more than 10 weeks goes by after someone has a trauma crisis, they will often benefit hugely from overnight therapy somewhere they feel safe and away from normal worries. Yet rehabilitation of people affected by stress gets almost no financial help at all – because job-stress avoidance is the primary objective for many organisations.
