How do you address fatigue in the workplace?

Recognise fatigue

Fatigue is experienced as a symptom of many conditions. It can significantly effect an individual’s ability to function effectively in everyday life both physically, cognitively, emotionally and socially.

The first step is to recognise that many conditions result in fatigue and can hinder recovery if it isn’t addressed. There is support available which can assist both employers and employees. Alongside our self management services, there are some simple practical solutions that can reduce the impact of fatigue in the workplace.

Practical steps

Workplace adjustments are important and need to be tailored to the individual needs of the employee to be most effective. Creating a supportive work environment, using techniques for managing workloads, improving communication and fostering a healthy work-life balance can all help reduce the risks associated with fatigue.
