Stress is inevitable in today’s competitive marketplace, where managers and their teams are often expected to do more with less – resulting in constant pressure and relentless deadlines. Some people survive and thrive in this environment of continuous improvement and perpetual change – but others struggle with the demands placed upon them, and find their work-life balance suffers as a result.
Are your people buckling under the pressure? Do they find coping a challenge? Is the stress taking its toll? While they may get a buzz when the pressure’s short-lived, physical and psychological problems can develop when the stress persists over time – leading to time off sick and problems with performance.
If this sounds familiar, and you want to take pre-emptive action to safeguard the health and well-being of your staff, this highly practical and informative course is the perfect solution.
