Part of the "Law and Employment" series, this book shows that there are ways for organizations to adopt a positive, pro-active approach to improving their workers' quality of life while avoiding the risk of costly lawsuits. It looks at employers' liability under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Employers have always paid a huge (but largely invisible) price for overloaded, "stressed-out" employees in terms of absenteeism, labour turnover and even low productivity. Today, they increasingly face litigation as well. Yet, there are ways for organizations to adopt a positive, pro-active approach to improving their workers' quality of life while avoiding the risk of costly lawsuits. This book examines in detail: major sources of stress - constant change, job insecurity, unclear or conflicting work roles, poor communications and difficult relations with colleagues; the law of negligence and liability for foreseeable stress-based injuries caused by the working environment; employers' responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act and subsequent regulations; employment protection legislation and claims for unfair or constructive dismissal; discrimination, harassment and compensation for injury to feelings; sample cases, often based on allegations of bullying, that solicitors are bringing against employers; and preventive measures and remedial techniques, such as counselling and stress management programmes.
