Job-stress education

We are constantly researching better ways to educate the following groups about job-stress:

The general public 

A recent survey in London showed that 68% of people did not know where to get advice about job-stress.

Professional clinical ergologists 

Clinical ergologists work at curing the emotional and physiological symptoms of job-stress.

Some clinical ergologists – called practical ergologists specialise in helping people affected by excess stress to problem solve the causes of their anxiety.

Associated symptom clinicians

Clinicians working in fields where they regularly encounter the symptoms of excess-stress   

Professional strategic ergologists 

Strategic ergologists work at minimising the frequency of occurrence and breadth of job-stress clusters. 

Professionals in organisations who encounter job-stress

People are often reluctant to declare that they are suffering from excess stress connected with their work. Line-managers are often reluctant to act on the report because they believe incidence of job-stress will reflect poorly on their own performance.  But early identification of job-stress is crucial to containing its effects – not just on the individual, but on the organisation too.
