Stress in Workplace Will Rise as Economy Drags

Employers have been warned to take their employee’s stress seriously or risk the potential of costly personal injury claims.
Ginny Hallam, the head of employment at a large law firm, has warned that stress in the workplace is projected to increase as businesses brace for the hit of the spiraling economy. Hallam suggests employers offer counseling services for its staff if they are facing with too much stress.
But in a recent case, a judge ruled that providing counseling services for stressed-out employees without additional support was an inadequate defense to a personal injury claim.
If you feel like conditions at work are unbearable, unfair or illegal, you have the right to file a personal injury claim.
