Stress Awareness Month
April marks Stress Awareness Month, a time to shine a spotlight on mental health in the workplace. We know that a happy, supported team is key to success—whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in the office. That’s why we’re backing the Working Minds campaign, which offers practical steps for reducing stress and improving employee wellbeing.
Why Workplace Stress Matters
The entertainment and events industry thrives on high energy and fast-paced environments—but without the right support, that can lead to burnout. Unmanaged stress impacts creativity, engagement, and productivity, making it essential for businesses to take proactive steps to create a healthy, balanced workplace.
Five Steps to Managing Workplace Stress
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) outlines five key steps for tackling stress at work. These are simple yet effective ways to create a more positive and resilient workforce:
We integrate these steps into our approach to team engagement, leadership, and personal development—ensuring that every member of our workforce has the tools they need to thrive.
Creating a More Inclusive Workplace
A vital part of reducing workplace stress is ensuring that all employees feel valued and supported—and this includes neurodivergent team members.
With 1 in 7 people in the UK identifying as neurodivergent, it’s crucial that workplaces create environments that enable everyone to succeed. However, research from Acas highlights that:
- 45% of managers feel they lack awareness about neurodiversity.
- 59% do not know how to implement reasonable adjustments for neurodivergent employees.
At TAG Live®, we are committed to championing neuroinclusive workplaces. That’s why we’ve recently joined Neurodiversity in Business (NiB)—ensuring our recruitment, training, and leadership strategies support all types of talent.
