Recession 'caused increased stress levels'

Increasing numbers of people are suffering from stress brought on by the recession, according to Aviva Health Insurance.

Up to 23 per cent of businesses believe worries over job security have had an effect on their employees.

As a result of this, many people have been taking long breaks from work, which 16 per cent of companies feel can have a negative effect on the overall morale of other workers.

Increasingly, employers are getting involved in helping their staff back to work, with just 14 per cent of respondents thinking it is not their position to pry about conditions.

Steve Bridger, head of group risk at Aviva UK Health, said it was encouraging to see that some businesses are aiming to tackle workplace stress.

He added that by informing insurers of an issue means the institution can begin working with a firm to get an employee back into work.

Aviva health insurance customers may have benefitted recently from the news that it is to cut the cost of premiums on some critical illness plans where certain conditions had been excluded.
