BBC Radio Solent’s Jon Cuthill, Wed 2nd April

QoWL’s Darren Van Laar and Simon Easton visited BBC Radio Solent to discuss stress and quality of working life on the Jon Cuthill morning show. A lively conversation ensued about stress at work and its causes. Darren and Simon talked about their research at the University of Portsmouth and how stress needs to be put in a wider context in order to measure it and deal with it effectively. Before the show QoWL had set up a Quality of Working Life survey for BBC Radio Solent staff. Based on the results, Darren and Simon were able to reassure Jon that he and his BBC colleagues were not extremely stressed, although Jon was naturally concerned that his boss might interpret this as that he was not working hard enough!
