Workplace Stress

An unexpected complaint of stress can occur in a new business which is growing very quickly, has little infrastructure and where the owner and staff are working long and hard just to keep up. Sometimes there is no obvious reason for the complaint. Often the complaint arises during a disciplinary investigation, causing the process to be delayed. In these situations advice should be obtained.
