Scheduled course outline
Duration 2 Days
"Acceptance of a problem is half way to solving it."
Who should attend
Any employees who have been identified or who feel that they are experiencing stress related symptoms. It is beneficial not to cross-grade the course.
The approach
Through the use of self-audits / exercises, small and whole group activities and action planning the facilitator will lead delegates through the four main stages of Stress Management.
Business scenario
With litigation on the increase, it is no wonder that many employers have become so much more aware about their duties to their employees. Some of this attention to recognising the increased stress levels of staff is laudable enough, yet there is so much more employees themselves can do to deal better with this important health and safety issue.
