Travel Weekly launches stress survey

TIRED and irritable? Lost your sense of humour? Worried about hitting sales targets? If any of those sound familiar you could be suffering the symptoms of stress – and Travel Weekly wants to hear from you.

Today we’re launching the biggest-ever industry survey on stress to find out how happy you are at work, and what issues cause you the biggest headache.

Our online survey has been developed with Professor Cary Cooper – the world’s leading authority on stress. He will analyse the results, giving a picture of life on the frontline in 2005.

Travel Weekly was prompted into action after we discovered ABTA bosses have been attending stress management training to help them shake off their work worries.

Ten Newman Street staff are attending three half-day sessions – the brainchild of chief executive Ian Reynolds – after the association endured a year blighted by a high-profile fraud case, complaints from members and criticism of its Orlando Convention.

Cooper, professor of organisational psychology and health at Lancaster University, backed Reynolds’ call to action, claiming high staff turnover in the industry – around 30% a year – showed companies are doing little to address the concerns of workers.
