recognising how a simple conversation might help”

According to the Health & Safety Executive, one in five
people say that they find their work either very or extremely
stressful and over half a million people experience work-related
stress at a level which is making them ill.
Jane Willis, Health and
Safety Executive says: “The work done by Samaritans in offering
practical training and helping managers to work well with others is
an important component for tackling work-related stress.”
