[영문]This article examines work-related stress and rehabilitation in the light of the introduction of Stress Management Standards in the UK in 2004. The Management Standards are outlined and the relevant literature on good practice in stress and rehabilitation is reviewed to provide a context for empirical research conducted with human resource practitioners in organisations. This view from the workplace provides insights on the issues faced, especially in the public services, when managing stress and rehabilitation. These include the role played by stress in people's personal life, the limitations of line management and the role of General Practitioners.
