<p>HSE does monitor year on year statistics of work-related stress, using data gathered
via the Labour Force Survey.</p><p> </p><p>The overall incidence rates have remained
fairly stable over the last decade but have recently shown indications of an upward
trend. This data is used as evidence to inform policy and strategy development. Within
the statistics there are a series of sectors that have persistently higher than average
rates of stress – education, health, local and central government.</p><p> </p><p>HSE
has targeted these sectors more specifically, and its involvement has led to the development
of practical tools and guidance to help support employers and employees in taking
action to prevent and reduce the incidence of work-related stress and resulting mental
health issues of anxiety and depression.</p>
