Poor management is a major cause of stress. Dr Peter Graham, Head of Health Directorate, UK Health & Safety Executive, 24 September 1998 Stress is not the employees inability to cope with excessive workloads and the unreasonable demands of incompetent and bullying managers; stress is a consequence of the employers failure to provide a safe system of work as required by the UK Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. Blaming the sufferer of stress for suffering stress is an admission of failure to fulfil this obligation of duty of care. The HSE publication Working on Stress describes the view that All you need to do is go for counselling to stop work-related stress as wrong and as being unlikely to tackle the source of the problem.
