Revised model of organisational stress for use within stress prevention/management and wellbeing programmes - Brief update

An earlier paper (Palmer et al 2001) introduced a simple model of organisational stress which can be used in stress prevention or management programmes to educate or inform all personnel, including health professionals, about the relationship between potential work-related stress hazards, individual and organisational symptoms of stress, negative outcomes and financial costs. The key components of the model relate directly to a Health and Safety Executive publication (HSE 2001) which focuses on improving and maintaining employee health and wellbeing. This paper highlights a slight revision to the model.
