Course Overview

This qualification will help learners, and their organisations reduce one of the biggest causes of work-related ill health; stress.

Developed with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the health and safety regulator for Great Britain, the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Managing Stress at Work aims to help you identify and reduce workplace stressors in order to create a positive, healthier workplace.

“Organisations that take action to reduce work-related stress before it becomes a problem have reported improvements in productivity, staff retention and a reduction in sickness absence. It’s more than that though. It’s about creating the right work environment for people to thrive and if you don’t look at what you are doing at the organisational level, everything else is just a sticking plaster.”

Jen Webster – Occupational Psychologist, HSE
