Shepherds Friendly have created an infographic in the hope to encourage employers to think more about the wellbeing of their staff as many people suffering from stress, often suffer in silence.

Someone is made ill by stress at work every two minutes, which highlights the importance of being aware of the symptoms, causes and how to beat it.
