HEIGHTENED PRESSURE
DURING SUMMER MONTHS
The impact of a pressure-filled summer season is causing
more than half of UK employees to experience chronic
workplace stress, or ‘burnout’, according to the second
Wellbeing Index Report released by health and wellbeing
provider, Westfield Health.
The report, which analyses the state of the nation’s wellbeing
at work and home, highlights a sharp increase in worrying
statistics including the rise of ‘leavism’, whereby employees
work outside of contracted hours or whilst on annual leave.
Over one in 10 (11 per cent) of employees admit to responding
to calls and emails whilst on holiday, 36 per cent believe their
boss expects them to be on standby during annual leave and
shockingly almost a fi h (17 per cent) of holiday time is spent
worrying about work.
This mounting pressure isn’t helped by the fact that well over
a third (37 per cent) of HR professionals surveyed say their
workplace doesn’t do enough to prepare for sta holidays and
the inevitable decrease in sta in the o ice over the summer
months.
From an employee’s perspective, increased workloads when
colleagues are on holiday combined with busy summer social
schedules mean personal wellbeing is su ering. Less than half
(43 per cent) say they have spent quality time with family in
the past three months and over a fi h (23 per cent) describe
their mental health as ‘poor’, with the impact of balancing
friendships, relationships and work (28 per cent) taking its toll.
Based on NHS guidelines, one in five admit they had not done
anything in relation to their wellbeing in the last three months
and only 36 per cent had been physically active.

ASCP PUBLISHES WHITE PAPER
ON BUILDING SAFETY REFORMS
The Association of Safety & Compliance Professionals (ASCP) – in partnership with
CORGI Technical Services – has released a white paper entitled ‘The Future of
Safety Management’. The paper o ers an invaluable insight into the Government’s
consultation document: ‘Proposals for reform of the building safety regulatory system’.
Seeking views on the proposals for a radically new building and fire safety system which puts residents’ safety
at its heart, the Government consultation looks at how the sector can work to change behaviours and culture,
ensuring we all know our responsibilities for complex residential buildings that not only include new-builds but
existing stock. The consultation also asks if it should include other types of residential/non-residential buildings.
The ASCP has delivered a white paper that supports the Government’s drive to put residents’ safety at the heart
of future reforms. The white paper breaks down the government’s consultation, to provide a guide to what it
means to Compliance Managers and the sweeping scope of the proposed reforms – including the handling of risk
management and how information is managed over the lifecycle of the building and wider legal requirements.
Non-members are also encouraged to request a copy of the white paper, by contacting the ASCP directly.
