How much stress has become 'normal' in your workplace?

The constant pressure. The emails after hours. The team member who always says they're fine, even when they're clearly stretched.

It's easy for stress to become part of everyday working life, especially when everyone is busy and things still seem to be getting done.

Next week (2–6 November) is International Stress Awareness Week, and this year's focus is on shaping the future of stress and wellbeing.

At P3 Business Care, we'll be looking at how organisations can take a more proactive approach to stress management. That means recognising the pressures people face, building healthier working habits and creating environments where people feel genuinely supported.

Because managing stress shouldn't fall entirely on the individual. Employers have an important part to play too.

Here's a question worth asking before next week:

What has your organisation come to accept as 'normal' that might actually be causing unnecessary stress?

Would your employees know where to turn if they were struggling?
The 2026 AXA Mind Health Report, conducted with Ipsos across 18 countries, highlights a worrying gap:
🔹 46% of respondents were struggling or languishing.
🔹 Among 18–34-year-olds, that figure reached 59%.
🔹 Around two-thirds of employees said workplace mental health programmes were unavailable—or they didn’t know whether they existed.
Providing support is an important step. Making sure people know about it and feel comfortable using it deserves just as much attention.
Behind these figures are people carrying financial worries, family pressures, loneliness and workplace concerns—often quietly.

At P3 Business Care, our Business Partners build relationships through a regular, visible presence, creating opportunities to listen and help people access appropriate support.
Our latest blog, “The Support Gap: What the 2026 AXA Mind Health Report Means for Employers,” explores how businesses can make support more accessible and trusted.

When did your business last check in on how your people are really doing? 👇

Most workplace support only kicks in once something has already gone wrong. By then it can mean absence, stress and talented people walking out the door.

At P3 Business Care, we do it differently. Our Business Partners visit your workplace twice a week, building trust and getting to know your team. That way we can spot and address issues before they become a crisis, for employees and their immediate family members.

Personal. Proactive. Partnership.

Want to see how it could work for your business? Get in touch with the team today.

One course. Two areas of first aid. One very practical day of training.

On 28 October, P3 is delivering a combined Emergency First Aid at Work + Emergency Paediatric First Aid course.

That means learners can build confidence in responding to emergencies involving both adults in the workplace and infants or children.

The training is practical, hands-on and designed to give people the skills to act when it matters most.

If your role involves responsibility for colleagues, children, or both, this course is a strong way to get properly prepared.

Most check-ins go the same way. “How are you?” “Yeah, good thanks.” And the conversation moves on.

That first answer is usually automatic. People don’t want to make a fuss at work, and it can feel easier to say they’re fine than to explain what’s actually going on, especially to their manager.

Asking a second time changes things. Done quietly, away from the team and without rushing to the next item, it shows you actually want to know. That’s often when the honest answer comes out.

You don’t need to fix anything in that moment. Listening is enough to start with, and it gives you the chance to help before things get harder.

Low sickness absence is usually taken as a good sign. Often it’s worth a closer look.

Plenty of people keep coming into work when they’re unwell, stressed or worn out, because they feel they should. Their work suffers, but quietly. Nothing gets flagged until they’re signed off or hand in their notice.

By then the costs are hard to ignore. Absence typically runs at £120 to £800 a day, and replacing a member of staff averages £10,608.

Regular, proper check-ins cost very little by comparison. If your absence figures look good, it’s worth asking whether they reflect how your people are actually doing.

If someone collapsed at work tomorrow, would the right person know what to do?

P3’s next Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work runs from 21–23 October.

It’s a three-day, Ofqual-regulated course designed to give workplace first aiders the confidence and practical skills to respond when something genuinely goes wrong — including CPR, defibrillation, injury management and dealing with workplace emergencies.

First aid training isn’t really about ticking a compliance box.
It’s about having someone in the room who knows what to do when everybody else freezes.

21–23 October 2026; Places can be requested through the P3 training page.

One in six UK workers say their job causes them almost constant stress and unhappiness.

Most of them are not off sick. They are at work, turning up and getting on with it, often with very little outward sign that anything is wrong.

More than one in five UK workers now have poor mental health. That is around 7.2 million people, the highest level since records began in 2009.

Most workplace support is designed for the moment someone asks for help. By then, things have usually been difficult for some time.

Regular conversations and genuine relationships at work make it possible to notice changes sooner, and to offer support before things become harder.

Figures: Mental Health Foundation (2026), CIPD (2025).

P3 is exhibiting at the Workforce Wellbeing & Safety Expo on 29 October. Come and meet us.

If you’re responsible for supporting people at work, we’d love to hear what that looks like in your organisation. Where is support working well, and where are people still finding it difficult to speak up or ask for help?

Visit the P3 team at P&J Live, Aberdeen, to talk about proactive workplace care,
Employee Presence and training.

It’s a chance to explore how regular, trusted support could fit into your workplace, before someone needs urgent help.
