Stress And Mental Health At Work

Written by Kathryn Bolton.

Many of us suffer with stress or mental health illness at times in our lives and sometimes this is caused by, or can affect, our work.

In this blog I consider the management of work-related stress and mental health issues of work, the potential for either stress or mental ill health to amount to a disability and when a claim against your employer may arise.
