Stress is a normal part of life and can be useful in helping us develop and learn. However, stress that is prolonged, uninterrupted, unexpected and, most importantly, unmanaged can have a negative influence.
The workplace and corporate environments can sometimes be sources of significant stress. When employees experience high levels of workplace stress, conflicts may arise, job satisfaction can decline and productivity can be affected. Organisations that expose their staff to stressful situations need to help employees manage these stresses in order to support a healthy, vibrant and successful working environment.
This course is aimed at assisting companies and employees to handle stressful workplace situations through practical stress management techniques. On completion, participants should understand common causes of stress, recognise symptoms of abnormal stress and understand the effects this can have. They will also learn practical stress management strategies to help decrease the causes and effects of stress.
