Minimising and managing workplace stress

High workloads, poor work/life balance and stressful work are the top three causes of poor mental health at work, according to a Mental Health Foundation survey conducted in March 2018. But what is stress, how does work impact stress and how can organisations and their people use the Three Rs, Refuel | Whakatipu, Resolve | Whakatika, and Relax | Whakatā, to get on top of it? This resource offers fact sheets, worksheets and activities for leaders and teams and can be used alone or alongside other tools in the Working Well suite of resources.
