Zero Stress Workshops
The Zero Hours to Zero Stress Workshops were aimed at Human Resource Managers, Health and Safety Managers, Trade Union Officers and Health and Safety Reps. The workshops offered the opportunity to learn why and how to incorporate harmful scheduling within health and safety frameworks.
Experts from the University of Cambridge, the CIPD and the TUC presented cutting edge research on the implications of harmful scheduling for health and safety.
The workshops also provided a valuable opportunity to share and develop new health and safety frameworks and incorporate manager-controlled flexible scheduling. With a view to ensure that workplaces not only comply with the law but that flexible scheduling works for both employers and employees; reducing stress and increasing efficiency and productivity.
The two free half-day workshops (one in London and one in Cambridge) were supported by the CIPD, TUC, British Safety Council and Safety Management Magazine.
Participants from the workshop will also received a free copy of a report documenting the outcomes of the workshops.
