The Workplace Healthy Work team are working to update their guidance in the area of Workplace Stress. The new guidance will replace the documentation that is online regarding workplace stress and fatigue, and dates back to 2003. This session will cover:

• how this guidance fits into the Worksafe plan for the development of further guidance and support materials
• what is workplace (di)stress and why can it be a bad thing for workers and businesses, why challenging (eustress) workers and businesses can be useful and being clear about the difference between these.
• stress risks and the assessment of these
• the importance of building distress-free workplace communities, and the role of effective leadership in this.
