Before using the Management Standards

[ch 4: page 39]

The HSE states that the following steps need to be taken before using the Standards:

• secure senior management commitment;

• secure commitment from employees and their representatives;

• set up a steering group;

• develop a project plan;

• secure adequate resources — in particular, staff time;

• develop a communications/employee engagement strategy;

• if appropriate, develop an organisational stress policy; and

• record what you have done.
