NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Managing Stress at Work (Classroom)

Move beyond “Wellness” and start managing the root causes of stress.

The NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Managing Stress at Work is a strategic, 1-day qualification developed with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to help organisations prevent work-related stress before it becomes a crisis.

While many courses focus on helping individuals cope with stress, this qualification focuses on helping organisations stop creating it. Designed for HR professionals, H&S managers, and team leaders, this course teaches you how to implement the HSE Management Standards—the gold standard for assessing psychosocial risk.

Tackling the Invisible Risk – A Strategic Approach to Workplace Wellbeing

A one-day specialist qualification developed in collaboration with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to give your leaders the framework to identify, prevent, and manage work-related stress.

Our NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Managing Stress at Work does more than just talk about “resilience” or “mindfulness.” It shifts the focus from the individual to the organisation. It empowers your HR, Health & Safety, and Line Managers to identify the root causes of stress using the HSE’s Management Standards approach.

Delegates will learn to implement strategic interventions that create a healthier, more productive culture, rather than just applying a “sticking plaster” when things go wrong.

After understanding the psychological principles of stress, delegates will dive into the practicalities of the HSE Management Standards. They will learn how to assess the six key areas of work design—Demands, Control, Support, Relationships, Role, and Change—and develop action plans that work.

Tailored to the Regulator’s Standards

This course is unique because it is built entirely around the HSE’s current approach to managing psychosocial risks.

“In addition to teaching my team effective investigation procedures, the course has reinforced the focus on identifying root causes of problems and putting in place effective solutions. Thank you!``

Brian Walker Operations Manager, Gledhill Building Products

``I am not someone who enjoys role-play and I was very nervous. But this experience has taught me far more than if I just sat through some theory. I have now had a taste of what it is like to investigate a real incident and can't wait to give it a go for real.``

Helen Price Health and Safety Representative, Cambridge Assessment

``All the delegates have commented on how great the course was and how you made it ``real``. We've investigated two near misses so far and the findings are far better than before. The conversations have also changed. They're focusing on process issues instead of just blaming the operators.``
