This document discusses occupational stress, including its definition, causes, impacts, and ways for organizations to manage it. It notes that stress arises from a lack of control over decisions that affect employees due to increased workplace changes. While stress claims were once feared, proper management of stress through organizational culture, leadership, and change management can help protect companies from associated legal and financial risks. Statistics are provided on stress-related absence costs and industries with the highest rates. The document recommends that stress is best addressed not just for compliance but also to improve employee morale, productivity and reduce costs.
Stress at the workplace, also known as occupational stress, refers to tension that occurs when job demands exceed a person's ability to cope. There are two main types of stress: acute stress from short-term challenges and chronic stress from prolonged acute stress. Work-related stressors include role ambiguity, heavy workload, job insecurity, and poor management. Left unmanaged, stress can lead to psychological issues like anxiety and depression, behavioral problems, and physical health issues for both individuals and organizations in the form of absenteeism and decreased productivity. Effective stress management involves regular exercise, maintaining a work-life balance, relaxation techniques, and organizational efforts to increase employee autonomy, compensation, and involvement in decision-making.
This document examines organisational role stress and coping mechanisms at Cochin Port Trust in India. It discusses the shipping industry and Cochin Port Trust company profiles. It identifies factors that lead to stress, such as workload and role ambiguity, and problems caused by stress like decreased productivity and health issues. The research aims to explore the impact of stress on productivity and evaluate interventions and coping strategies. Statistical analysis found a relationship between stress factors and effects, and no significant relationship between interventions and coping strategies. Suggestions include providing more training and resources to reduce stress.
This document contains a presentation on occupational stress given by Shazad Sookram. It discusses various causes and signs of stress, including changing work environments and societies. It provides a questionnaire to assess stress vulnerability and describes the 90/10 principle, where 90% of life is determined by our reactions to what happens.

PREFACE
Health and safety issues are important in engineering, management and other fields. Most
professional engineering associations point out that health and safety are issues of utmost
importance in engineering practice. For example, Professional Engineers Ontario
(http://www.peo.on.ca) states in its Code of Ethics, “A practitioner shall … regard the
practitioner's duty to public welfare as paramount.” The need for appropriate education and
training in engineering health and safety is also widely recognized, and engineering programs
usually must appropriately address health and safety to maintain accreditation. For instance, the
Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (http://www.ccpe.ca) includes in its curriculum-
content criteria, “Appropriate exposure to … public and worker safety and health considerations
… must be an integral component of the engineering curriculum.”
This document is an engineering-oriented module and set of case studies on health and safety,
which helps convey the importance of these issues in a concise package. The material can be
covered in a single lecture, or over an extended period. The materials herein are intended and
structured for engineering students, but are also useful for others, e.g., students in other technical
programs such as applied sciences and technology, students in management, business and other
programs that interface with engineering, and students in company training programs.
This package contains case studies since they usually present a useful and interesting means of
delivering education on health and safety to engineering students. Minerva Canada
(http://www.minervacanada.org) and others have in the past developed several useful business-
and engineering-oriented case studies on health and safety. The case studies presented here are
fictitious, although they contain ideas based on actual incidents. Although the case studies are
oriented towards engineering, they also incorporate management and business issues, since
health and safety must be dealt with in an integrated and interdisciplinary manner. For example,
criteria for business success, such as performance and profitability, must be considered in
concert with health and safety. The case studies are not intended to be judgmental, but rather to
provide a basis for discussion.
The author invites feedback and comments from interested parties and users, so that the module
and accompanying case studies can be enhanced in the future.

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR ComplianceAggregage
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements
