About Course

Excessive workload is one of the most common causes of work-related stress. This course helps you get a clear picture of your workload, prioritise realistically, and have a constructive conversation with your manager – and explains the employer’s duties and your rights on working hours.

This course gives general information about managing workload and work-related stress. It is not legal or medical advice. Follow your employer’s policies and check current guidance from HSE, Acas and GOV.UK (or HSENI and the Labour Relations Agency in Northern Ireland).
