Work stress 'should be addressed early'

Workplace stress among recruitment consultants can be dealt with effectively if it is addressed early, it has been claimed.

Tom Stewart, joint managing director of skills-training group System Concepts, said there is a tendency for employees to suffer quietly with stress as it is associated with simply working hard.

He added: "That's why management has to be vigilant and look out for signs that somebody is having a problem because it is much more effective to nip it in the bud."

Mr Stewart went on to comment that if people are forced to take time off work due to stress, it can negatively affect the company as it puts more strain on everyone else.

Research carried out by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts indicates recruitment consultants are the most anxious UK workers, with 67 per cent feeling insecure in their employment, followed by estate agents at 65 per cent and call centre staff on 64 per cent.
