Stress Management Training Course

Work related stress, depression and anxiety accounted for an estimated 13.5 million lost working days in Britain during 2007/08. Evidence shows prolonged periods of work-related stress has an adverse effect on both physical and psychological health. It effects employees' commitment to work, their performance, productivity and attendance levels. There is an increasing need for employers to apply a proactive approach towards stress and the welfare of their employees.

The stress management training course provides senior managers with the information and guidance they need to take a pro-active approach against work-related stress. The course focuses on the prevention of stress in the work place, and covers effective strategies for dealing with stress, stress risk assessment and management of workplace stressors.
