Stress in the workplace costs £26 billion

Members of the CWU will know the union has taken a lead role in promoting zero tolerance to bullying and harassment in the ppostal, telecommunications and financial services industries. Mental health charity MIND estimates that stress related bullying costs £26 billion a year. Tomorrow MIND will launch a five-year campaign to improve the nation's well-being by challenging stigma, bullying and inadequate support services in the workplace. This comes on top of its wider three-year £20m anti-stigma campaign, "Time to Change" a project the union supports, which finishes next year. Full report here.
