Happy National Stress Awareness Day (or as it’s sometimes known… the day after the USA election)! Did you know that in the UK last year, stress, anxiety, and depression led to over 17 million lost working days (HSE, 2023). For smaller teams, this can hit hard—not just in workload but in morale. So, let’s talk stress-busting, shall we? Here are a few practical, real-world tips for spotting and managing stress: 🔍 Notice the Signs – Does someone seem distracted? Are they just not themselves? Those little “off” moments could be early signs of stress—worth a quick chat! 💬 Encourage Openness – Make it okay for people to say, “I need a minute!” Stress is less scary when we know we’re not alone, so fostering a culture of openness really does work wonders. 🔄 Play to Strengths – The fastest route to overwhelm is putting someone in the deep end without the tools or support they need. Align roles with skills where you can, and watch people (and productivity) flourish. ⏸️ Promote Taking Breaks – Especially for remote workers, remind your team to take a breather. No one should feel like they have to be “on” 24/7. 🎓 Get Serious About Stress Training – Equipping your team with stress management techniques can make a real difference. A short workshop or a quick course could be the start of some big improvements. In a nutshell? Stress is bound to show up now and then—it’s part of working life. But when businesses step in and support their people, it’s not just good for mental health; it’s good for all of us. #NationalStressAwarenessDay #StressInTheWorkplace #EmployeeWellbeing #SupportYourTeam #BeeSureHR #HRWithHeart #SmallBusinessLife #PeopleFirst 🐝

‼️ Living Wage Update - Increase Announced ‼️ The ‘real’ Living Wage as recommended by the Living Wage Foundation has increased by 5% to £12.60 an hour. This means that almost 500,000 workers across more than 15,000 businesses who are signed up to pay the voluntary rate will receive £2,262 a year more per year in the UK than if they were on the statutory minimum rate. In London, the rate has increased by 5.3% to £13.85 an hour, meaning workers at employers signed up to the scheme will earn over £4,700 more per year. Update from personneltoday. com
