One of the biggest problems facing companies today is that of stress related sickness.

 According to the independent healthcare consultancy, IHC, over 40 million days are lost each year through absenteeism.  The main reasons are varied and include colds and flu and food poisoning, which may be interpreted a number of ways by employers, particularly on Fridays or Mondays.

 Other key reasons increasingly cited are, headache, migraine, backache and stress.  These are all brought on, potentially, by the pressures of meeting targets and long working hours.

 The cost to industry (CBI, 2003) runs into billions of £’s with an average cost for each employee of £588 for 9.12 days taken sick each year.
