Stressed employees learn to knit

October 14, 2008

With councils set to lose millions of pounds of taxpayers' money in, ahem, frozen Icelandic bank accounts, Guru is delighted to hear that they are making best use of what funds they do have.

North East Derbyshire District Council is reportedly introducing knitting classes - along with craft workshops - after figures revealed that it lost an average of 9.75 days per employee to stress and sickness in 2007/08.

If anything would make Guru stressed and sick, it would be the thought of a knitting class first thing in the morning.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
