Overview
Coping with pressure and stress can be a challenge at any time. In the current context of remote, hybrid or office-based working in the Covid pandemic, people can find their working situation even more acutely stressful than ever. It can be very difficult struggling with the constant demands of time and output, work while trying to juggle some sort of work-life balance, and people are not always able to cope. This means sick absences may rise, behaviours may change, conflict rises in the workplace and productivity is affected adversely.
Understanding how you can build resilience or provide support for others can be a game changer.
This live virtual training seminar addresses the differences between pressure and stress, what they mean, how they impact, how they can manifest in you and others, and why it is imperative to do something about it.
Who is the course designed for?
Everybody!
The course helps people to identify strategies to manage their own potential stress factors and come away with an action plan. It aims to deal with increasing your influence at work to cope with unreasonable demands, as well as coping techniques to deal with pressures which are outside of your control or influence. It is also for people within organisations who have responsibility for helping colleagues to adapt, and who wish to support people, which is more important than ever.
How will you benefit from attending?
By the end of the course delegates will be able to:
• Identify the difference between stress and pressure
• Understand the manifestations of stress
• Understand why it is important to address it, and how to do something about it
• Strategize how to deal with workplace and outside work pressures
• Action plan individual strategies to apply
