• Editorial Review | Managing Stress in the Workplace

13 April 2021 | Updated 23 April 2021

In March's FM review, ThisWeekinFM's Editorial Team reflects on the past year, exploring how people have been feeling in the past few months and considering how to overcome the risk of burnout across a range of circumstances. 

This week saw us reach a year since the beginning of the first official UK lockdown. As we approach April, the roadmap laid out for easing lockdown measures brings hope of increased social interaction and entertainment options – activities typically associated with stress relief. 

But as April is also Stress Awareness Month, we are reminded that stress has many causes and whilst lockdown has undoubtedly been a major contributing factor for many, its easing may not reduce stress for all and for some employees, it could even present an increase.  

Join Daisy, Bailey and Ella now by watching the video below, and let us know your views on the situation via Twitter and LinkedIn or in the YouTube comments.
