Work-related stress is often defined as an adversary action to excessive demands or pressers at work. It can also arise from bullying, harassment, poor treatment or poor working conditions.
Employers have a legal obligation to take care of their employee’s health. An employer mishandling a mental health concern might find itself in breach of the implied term of mutual trust and confidence.
This may also lead to potential personal injury claim as a result of negligence or the employer's failure to provide a safe place of work.
Work-related stress or a mental health illness can sometimes amount to a disability under the equality act. In certain circumstances employers, therefore, might have a duty to make reasonable adjustments, so that could include things like moving an employee away from a stressful situation or to work with new colleagues or it could be reducing workload.
The most important thing is to tell someone an employer should react sensitively you should also check if you’re employer has specific policies in place relating to work-related stress or mental health at work. Those processes and procedures will guide you as to what you should be doing and what your employer should be doing to support you
