Stress Awareness

Overview

Work-related stress, depression and anxiety are the most common causes of work-related ill-health and absence in UK businesses. But the adverse effects of harmful stress don’t end there; it can also affect vital business functions, such as staff retention, collaborative working, customer satisfaction, quality, and creativity. This interactive half day workshop introduces delegates to a risk-based approach to the management of work-related stress. The course provides line managers and supervisors with the confidence and skills to proactively contribute to an organisation’s stress management policies and procedures. Throughout the session, delegates will participate in interactive and engaging quizzes and individual and group exercises, enabling them to understand how they can contribute to their organisation’s overall and local approach to work-related stress reduction.

Who needs this qualification?

This course has been designed to meet the needs of those responsible for the supervision or management of teams. Typically, an organisation will have developed a stress management strategy, but implementing stress policies and procedures can be challenging. Educated and skilled line managers and supervisors are in an excellent position to recognise the presence of unmanaged and negative stress risk factors, enabling them to spot the early signs and symptoms of negative work-related stress and implement local solutions and support where possible.

Why is this training important?

A large portion of employee absence is a result of stress or stress-related illness. Stress Awareness training in the workplace can create a healthier and more supportive work environment, benefiting both employees and employers. Stress Awareness training is essential because it empowers individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to identify, manage, and reduce stress effectively, leading to improved mental and physical health, better relationships, and increased overall well-being.
