Policies already in place Attended first meeting agreed on a resolution to modify the original standard Prepared to co-operate with testing update standard

4 HSE Stress Piloteers Programme and the new “Management Standards for Work Related Stress” Aims and Objectives of participating in the pilot To work with HSE to introduce proposed new standard for industry To identifying a pilot group at Cheshire Innovation Park to test the proposed standard questionnaire To identify any areas that may be of concern within the pilot group To identify any areas of the questionnaires or feedback spread sheets that could be improved

5 HSE Stress Piloteers Programme and the new “Management Standards for Work Related Stress” How did we launch the programme? Identified a multi location office based group that might be prepared to participate Discussed the scheme with Business group leader and team leaders - Sold the positive aspect of participating in the pilot scheme - agreed that they might benefit Attended team meeting personally – sold the concept to the staff present – Handed out first pass questionnaire and HSE supplied covering letter- short return time given - Personal touch Important– recent questionnaire- possible excess

6 HSE Stress Piloteers Programme and the new “Management Standards for Work Related Stress” How did we launch the programme?(cont.)

8 HSE Stress Piloteers Programme and the new “Management Standards for Work Related Stress” Next steps in the process Fed back first pass results to staff at team meeting Team requested extra second pass questionnaires Feedback not as quick – smaller return Feedback to the Business group manager - identifying areas of concern Ensured that time would be allocated for discussion groups to be set up

9 HSE Stress Piloteers Programme and the new “Management Standards for Work Related Stress” Concerns with the Piloteers questionnaires The results and cut off points in matrix - i.e.not recognising that Sometimes/ Seldom could be an issue Challenged the validity of questions - e.g. I have a say in choosing with whom I work

10 HSE Stress Piloteers Programme and the new “Management Standards for Work Related Stress” Where did we go from there? Discussion groups were set up to identify areas for improvement and how they can influence change Manager and Team leaders – looking at cascade of information regarding improving areas of concern Working groups in progress and constructive feedback has been given- Information cascaded upwards and within the group Feedback given to staff at regular team meetings
