Stress Awareness Week 2025 | Consensus HR

Stress Awareness Week 2025 (3 – 7 November)

Welcome to this week’s update from Consensus HR, where we’re focusing on Stress Awareness Week 2025.

By working with our Health & Safety provider, we’re highlighting how businesses can take proactive steps to manage stress in the workplace — ensuring compliance and promoting wellbeing.

Stress is a health and safety risk – and it’s the law to act

As Stress Awareness Week 2025 gets underway, the HSE Working Minds campaign can help you take action.

Employers are reminded that work-related stress is a legal health and safety issue under:

In 2023/24, 776,000 workers reported suffering from work-related stress, depression or anxiety — nearly half of all self-reported work-related ill health — contributing to 16.4 million working days lost.

What to do this week

Use Stress Awareness Week to take action:

Review your stress risk assessment – make sure it is up to date.
Use HSE’s Talking Toolkits to start open conversations.
Encourage learning – signpost the free Working Minds online learning modules for managers.
Look out for early signs like absence, low morale or conflict.
Make it routine – treat stress prevention like any other safety issue.

Taking simple, reasonable steps can help you stay compliant and build a healthier, more resilient workforce. Mental health is a health and safety issue – and must be treated as such.

“At Consensus HR, we remind all employers that managing stress effectively isn’t just good practice — it’s a legal requirement. By supporting your teams and taking preventative action, you create a workplace that’s both compliant and compassionate.”

– Matthew Chilcott – FCIPD, ACEL

Vehicle and transport safety at work

Being struck by a vehicle continues to be one of the main causes of fatal and major injuries in the workplace. Figures for 2024 to 2025 show that 14 workers were killed that year when struck by a moving vehicle.

Our recent workplace transport press release outlines common patterns behind reversing vehicle deaths and how to prevent them.

Visit the workplace transport section of the HSE website for guidance, advice, and resources to help reduce risks.

🌍 Thursday Blog – Awareness Day

Equal Pay Day – 14th November 2025: Closing the Gender Pay Gap

Equal Pay Day 2025, marked on 14th November, symbolises the date when women effectively stop earning compared to men, based on the UK’s current gender pay gap.

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the UK gender pay gap currently stands at around 14%, showing slow but steady progress.
The Equality Act 2010 requires that men and women doing equal work receive equal pay, including salary, bonuses, pension contributions, and benefits.

Employers should regularly review pay structures to ensure fairness and transparency. Proactive pay audits also help attract talent, improve morale, and reduce turnover.

✅ Consensus HR supports businesses with fair pay and HR compliance reviews, helping employers build equitable, motivated, and high-performing teams.

Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
“Equal Pay Day highlights the importance of fairness and consistency in pay practices. Businesses that review and address pay gaps demonstrate real commitment to equality — and attract the best people.”

💡 Wednesday Blog – Did You Know – HR

Did You Know? Employers Must Keep Records of Working Time and Rest Breaks

Under the Working Time Regulations 1998, all UK employers must maintain accurate records of employees’ working hours and rest breaks — even for salaried staff.

These records prove compliance with legal limits, including:

48-hour average weekly limit (unless the employee opts out)
11 consecutive hours of daily rest
24 hours uninterrupted rest per week

Failure to keep proper records can result in penalties or enforcement action by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

✅ Using a system like Breathe HR, offered through Consensus HR, ensures accurate tracking of working hours, holidays, and compliance with UK law.

Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
“Keeping working time records isn’t just a legal formality — it’s vital for managing productivity, wellbeing, and compliance. With tools like Breathe HR, it becomes seamless.”

HR Fact: Managing Probationary Periods Fairly and Legally

Content:
Probationary periods give employers the opportunity to evaluate a new employee’s performance, attendance, and suitability for the role before confirming permanent employment.

Although not a legal requirement under UK law, probationary periods are a best practice HR tool — allowing structured feedback and ensuring mutual fit between employee and employer.

Employers should remember:

Employees on probation still have full statutory employment rights (e.g. holiday pay, SSP, discrimination protection).
Probation reviews should be documented and communicated in writing.
If extending probation, employers must confirm this before the initial period ends.

Failing to manage probation fairly can lead to disputes and reduced employee confidence.

✅ At Consensus HR, we help SMEs design effective probation processes that meet legal standards and improve retention.

Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
“A well-managed probation period builds strong, engaged teams. It’s about helping people succeed — not just testing them. We ensure businesses remain compliant and professional from day one.”

Matthew Chilcott Absence Management, Blog, Employment Contracts, Employment Law, General, Health & Safety #Health&Safety, Business, Business Owners, HR, HR Advice, HR Consultant, HR Consultants, HR Support, Small Business, SME, SME's

International Stress Awareness Week – 4th to 8th November: Supporting Mental Wellbeing at Work

International Stress Awareness Week (4th–8th November 2025) is a key opportunity for employers to focus on workplace wellbeing and reducing stress-related illness.

According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), stress, depression, and anxiety accounted for 51% of all work-related ill health cases in 2024/25. Managing stress effectively isn’t just about wellbeing — it’s a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

Practical ways employers can support mental health include:

Conducting stress risk assessments
Offering Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)
Training managers to spot early warning signs
Encouraging open conversations and flexibility

At Consensus HR, we help businesses create supportive environments where wellbeing and productivity thrive hand-in-hand.

Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
“Stress at work affects performance, morale, and health. Employers who take proactive steps to support wellbeing build stronger, more engaged teams — and meet their legal responsibilities.”

Did You Know? UK Employers Must Provide Written Employment Contracts from Day One

Matthew Chilcott Blog, Employment Contracts, Employment Law, General #consensus hr, Business, Business Owners, employment law, HR, HR Advice, HR Consultant, HR Consultants, HR Support, Small Business, SME, SME's

💡 Wednesday Blog – Did You Know – HR

Did You Know? Employers Must Keep Written Employment Contracts

Content:
Since April 2020, UK employers are legally required to provide written terms of employment (known as a Section 1 Statement) from day one of employment.

This applies to both employees and workers, and must include details such as:

Job title and duties
Pay rate and frequency
Working hours and location
Holiday entitlement and benefits
Notice periods
Probationary period and conditions

Failure to provide a written contract can result in compensation awards of up to four weeks’ pay at an Employment Tribunal.

At Consensus HR, we draft and update legally compliant employment contracts tailored to your business, ensuring both clarity and protection.

Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
“A clear contract sets the foundation for a professional working relationship. It protects your business and ensures every employee understands their rights and responsibilities from day one.”

HR Fact: Managing Annual Leave Carry Over – Key Rules Every UK Employer Should Know

Matthew Chilcott Blog, Employment Contracts, Employment Law, General, Handbook, Health & Safety #consensushr, #employmentlaw, #HRDept, Business, Business Owners, HR, HR Advice, HR Consultant, HR Consultants, HR Support, Small Business, SME, SME's

HR Fact: Managing Annual Leave Carry Over – What Employers Must Know

Content:
Under UK law, all employees are entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks’ paid annual leave per year, as outlined in the Working Time Regulations 1998.

While most employers encourage employees to use their full entitlement, there are occasions where leave can be carried over to the next holiday year. The rules depend on the reason for the carry-over:

✅ Standard holiday policy: Employers may allow limited carry-over (typically up to 1.6 weeks) by agreement.
✅ Sickness absence: Employees unable to take leave due to sickness can carry over up to four weeks for 18 months.
✅ Maternity or parental leave: Leave missed due to family-related absence can also be carried forward.

Failing to manage holiday correctly can lead to breaches of employment law and potential tribunal claims.

At Consensus HR, we help SMEs create clear, legally compliant annual leave policies that protect both the business and employees while encouraging a healthy work-life balance.

Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
“Annual leave management might seem straightforward, but the rules around carry-over can catch employers out. Having the right policy in place keeps your business compliant and your team motivated.”

🌍 Thursday Blog – Awareness Day

World Values Day – 24th October 2025: Embedding Core Values into the Workplace

World Values Day (24th October 2025) celebrates the importance of living and working according to meaningful values — both personal and organisational.

For businesses, having clear company values helps drive behaviour, decision-making, and culture. Values such as integrity, collaboration, respect, and innovation not only attract the right employees but also improve retention and performance.

We use the following Values with many of our companies. CARE:

Can Do

Work as a team

Encourage others

Consistently create opportunities for improvement

Remain focussed

Accountable

Take responsibility for my job role

Make progress against objectives

Deliver on agreed actions

Evaluate impact on cost and profit

Reliable

Keep promises

Support your Team

Communicate appropriately

Maintain commitment and enthusiasm

Ethical

Deal with people respectfully

Encourage diversity

Embrace a culture of compliance

Consider the Environment

HR plays a vital role in embedding these values into everyday practice through:

Recruitment and onboarding aligned with values
Appraisal systems that measure behaviour as well as results
Training and leadership development focused on culture
Recognition programmes that reward teamwork and ethical conduct

At Consensus HR, we work with SMEs to align HR policies and leadership behaviours with company values — building teams that reflect what your business truly stands for.

Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
“Values aren’t just words on a wall — they’re the foundation of successful workplaces. Embedding them through HR processes turns them into daily actions that drive business success.”

💡 Wednesday Blog – Did You Know – HR

Did You Know? Employers Must Record Employees’ Working Hours

Content:
Following European Court of Justice rulings (and supported by UK case law), all UK employers must keep accurate daily records of working hours — even for salaried staff — to prove compliance with the Working Time Regulations 1998.

This includes ensuring:

Staff do not work more than 48 hours per week on average (unless they’ve opted out)
Workers receive minimum daily and weekly rest periods
Accurate timesheets or system records are maintained

💡 Digital HR systems like Breathe HR, offered through Consensus HR, make this simple — allowing automatic tracking and easy reporting for compliance audits.

Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:

📌 Tuesday Blog – HR Fact

HR Fact: Statutory Redundancy Pay in the UK

Content:
When it comes to redundancy, many employers are unaware of their legal obligations. In the UK, employees with two years’ continuous service are entitled to Statutory Redundancy Pay.

The calculation is based on:

Age of the employee
Length of service (capped at 20 years)
Weekly pay (capped at £700 from April 2024)

Failing to follow redundancy law correctly can result in costly Employment Tribunal claims.

👉 At Consensus HR, we ensure your redundancy processes are fair, transparent, and legally compliant, protecting your business and supporting your team through difficult transitions.

Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
“Redundancy can be one of the most difficult decisions for a business. Getting it wrong isn’t just financially risky, it can damage your reputation. We help SMEs manage redundancy correctly while safeguarding both business and employee interests.”

Latest Health & Safety News & Prosecutions – Weekly Digest (16 October 2025)

At Consensus HR, we stay up to date working with our H&S provider with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) enforcement actions, regulatory reviews, and industry developments.

This week’s HSE Weekly Digest highlights the continuing focus on falls from height, safe use of work equipment, and the review of key safety regulations – all critical topics for employers across the UK.

🧗 Managing the Risk of Working at Height

Falls from height remain the most common cause of workplace fatalities in Great Britain.
HSE’s latest figures reveal that 35 workers were killed in falls from height between 2024 and 2025 – a stark reminder that robust safety controls are vital.

Businesses must ensure sensible and proportionate measures are in place when employees are required to work at height. HSE offers a step-by-step guide to working at height, helping employers assess and control these risks effectively.

👉 For further guidance, visit HSE’s Working at Height resource.

🏗️ Scaffolding Safety

Scaffolding must be stable, secure, and properly maintained at all times.
The HSE’s scaffolds guidance explains when a design is required and sets out the competence and training standards needed for anyone erecting, altering, inspecting, or supervising scaffolding structures.

Failure to ensure scaffolding safety continues to be one of the most common causes of enforcement action by the HSE.

🪜 Ladders – Safe, Not Default

Ladders and stepladders can be a sensible choice for low-risk, short-duration tasks, but they should not be the automatic first option.

To ensure safe use, HSE provides comprehensive guidance on ladders and stepladders at work, including when they can be used and how to maintain safety.

💥 Company Fined £800,000 After Worker Killed by Exploding Jet Hose

A utility and infrastructure company has been fined £800,000 after a drainage engineer died following an explosion while priming a jet hose.

HSE’s investigation identified serious failings, including:

No safe system of work for priming the jetting system
Poor maintenance of work equipment – other vehicles also had defects
Lack of sufficient information, instruction, training, and supervision

The worker was placed in an induced coma and tragically died 17 days later from his injuries.

👉 Read the full HSE press release on this case.

📊 Safety Climate Tool 2.0 – Helping Organisations Improve Culture

The Safety Climate Tool (SCT) 2.0, developed by HSE experts, helps organisations measure and improve their safety culture – the way safety is perceived and prioritised within the workplace.

The upgraded version includes:

Enhanced functionality and user experience
Improved analytics for actionable insights
New features to provide greater value for safety leaders

👉 Learn more about SCT 2.0
📺 Watch HSE’s YouTube overview
🖥️ Join the free webinar on 22 October to explore how to achieve safety culture excellence.

⚙️ Call for Evidence: Lifting Equipment & Pressure Systems Regulations

The HSE has launched a Call for Evidence on two key sets of regulations:

Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR)
Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER)

This review, part of the Government’s Regulatory Action Programme (RAP), aims to ensure that these frameworks remain effective, proportionate, and responsive to emerging technologies.

🗓️ The closing date for comments is 11 November 2025.
👉 Submit your input to the PSSR Call for Evidence and LOLER Call for Evidence pages.

🧾 Guidance on Permit-to-Work Systems

The HSE’s publication “Guidance on Permit-to-Work Systems: A Guide for the Petroleum, Chemical and Allied Industries (HSG250)” provides a comprehensive overview of how to manage hazardous work safely.

Read the full publication online here:
👉 Permit-to-Work Systems Guidance (HSG250)

💬 Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner, Consensus HR

“The recent HSE updates reinforce the importance of proactive safety management across every business sector.
Employers must not only meet their legal obligations but embed a strong safety culture where risks are identified and controlled before incidents occur.
At Consensus HR, we work with our clients to create practical, proportionate safety systems, ensuring compliance while maintaining operational efficiency. By addressing hazards such as working at height, equipment maintenance, and training, we help prevent tragedies and protect both employees and business reputation.”
