Almost everyone experience stress at the workplace. The stress could be of many different types on account of many causes. However stress imparted by top management to senior executives at work place exceeding its normal limit may lead to serious implications.
There should therefore be some legal frame work to address such issues in the Court of Law.
Do you have such law in your region/nation? Can you briefly state important provisions thereof ?
This will be helpful to one of my students conducting research on stress management for senior corporate executives and its legal framework.
Thanks in advance
Legal frame work may not be essential as a part to manage the stress from the management or higher-ups, in cases where in it goes beyond the frame work there are definitely legal frame work that exists .....for example women empowerment, actions on unethical behaviors/practices.....
Every organisations have there internal controls to take the necessary actions as appropriate
It varies from country to another, but in the end there is a law to regulate it.
It must be noted that there has to be some legal frame work for the protection of senior level executives from top bosses against the stress. India I think law exists for workers protection. For senior officers we must seriously put up the matter before Indian Law Board
Thanks for sharing your views. Looking for more views on this issue....
Dr Sheth, as you noted workplace stress has adverse impacts on individuals including managers as well as staff and the organisations in which they work (see Williams & Cooper, 2002, among others). Inasmuch as workplaces can provide legal, regulatory and policy frameworks to mitigate against and manage this problem (Sutherland & Cooper, 2000), providing additional support in the form of employee assistance programmes, among others has been found to be beneficial in alleviating such an issue (see Teasdale, 2006). Interesting.
