Dealing with Stress for Staff

Target Audience:

Members of staff.

Duration:

1 day.

Logistics:

The ideal number of participants for this training is 9 to 12.

Objective:

For employees to become more aware of their fluctuating stress levels and take effective action before it starts making them ill. At the end of the course, they should be able to recognise the beginning symptoms of stress in themselves and in colleagues, and feel empowered to do something about it.

Overview:

In order to reduce stress one needs to understand what triggers harmful pressure and how best to manage it. Therefore the course is very experiential and based on reviewing real life and work scenarios. Employees also get to practice self-awareness exercises and simple cognitive strategies that can easily be implemented back in the workplace.

Participants will develop an understanding of:

• The causes and symptoms of harmful pressure.
• Their own blind-spots and stress triggers.
• How different people react to pressure in different ways.
• How it is their own attitude which will often decide whether they suffer from stress or not.
• How some stress management strategies that people develop for themselves are helpful, while others are not.

Participants will learn key skills to:

• Spot the danger signs of harmful pressure.
• Re-evaluate and challenge their ‘internal drivers’, a source of much pressure and stress.
• Manage their time and priorities better to avoid stress arising in the first place.
• Plan a greater level of balance between work and home life.
• De-stress quickly and effectively when needed, at least until they can neutralise the stressor.
