Background
Untrained management can cause severe occupational stress, burnout and unnecessary unemployment. We call on the government to direct the HSE to integrate "neuro-competence" into its standards. This must verify a manager's practical capability to proactively prevent psychological injury by: 1) eliminating volatile, unpredictable scheduling changes; 2) utilising structured, documented communication formats; and 3) identifying and mitigating localised sources of sensory overload and task fragmentation.
