Stress Recognition And Reduction

With an emphasis upon continuing improvement, rationalising the workforce, cultural change and the need to measure performance, more people are experiencing stress and anxiety in the workplace. Add external influences, such as family or financial difficulties, and we find ourselves on rapid downward spiral that if unresolved can undermine our performance and lead to extended periods of absenteeism.

To reflect the differing needs and responsibilities between staff and managers, we offer programmes at two distinct levels.

Standard Course

The Standard Course is aimed at staff and in particular at airing issues around stress whilst encouraging a more resilient culture. The course looks at the factors contributing to stress and anxiety, normalises them and then introduces simple, but effective recognition and coping strategies.

Advanced Course

The Advanced Course is aimed at front line supervisors and managers and whilst we will cover the same issues as the Standard Course, we enter into more detail (Shown in italics) and specifically examine the resource and legal implications of not addressing stress in the working environment.
