Editorial Review | Managing Stress in the Workplace

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.
