Raise awareness of legal duty Many people still donât realise that itâs a legal duty to include work-related stress in risk assessments. You can help change that during stress awareness week by supporting HSEâs Working Minds campaign. The campaign helps raise awareness that all employers are required by law to prevent work-related stress and support good mental health by doing a risk assessment and acting on it.  - talk about it at your next one-to-one with a staff member
- bring it up at a team meetingÂ
Recognise the signs Stress affects people differently. What impacts one person may not impact another, but signs of stress in a team can include arguments, higher staff turnover, more sickness absence or decreased performance. Get to the root cause Try looking for common themes that may need addressing. If you spot a problem or something that might be bubbling, do something about it that will address the root cause.  For example, if someone is struggling with too much workload, consider how that work is allocated or prioritised. - find out more about the 6 main causes of stress and ideas to tackle them in the Talking Toolkit
