However pressure itself is not necessarily bad, most people need some level of pressure in order to function.

It is only when the pressure experienced is perceived as excessive and long term by an individual that ill-health can result and a clear job description and a personal training plan is designed to counter this.

The Action Plan is broken down into 6 areas as follows:
Each item / point is to be assigned a specific action point number
Detail of issues identified or area for potential improvement explained here
Detailing what specific actions are to be implemented to improve the situation identified
This is normally the line manager with operational responsibility for the individual or activity proposed. The Responsible Person would have responsibility for raising an action point and ensuring that the work is completed.
Enter an appropriate (SMART) “Target Date” for implementation / completion in the format dd/mm/yy. It is not acceptable to put in “ongoing“as this is not a Target Date and is not to be used.
When all actions have been fully implemented the Action Plan is to be “Signed off” by the staff member and the line manager and a copy issued to Human Resources for audit purposes.
