Managing Stress

research-based, results-driven, people-friendly

Duration: 1 day

What is this workshop about?

Stress is a dynamic condition in which an individual is confronted with an opportunity, constraint or demand for which the outcome is perceived to be both uncertain and important. Of course, stress is not always bad – unless it moves to a level of strain. Where there are high levels of stress / strain in an organisation, the effects can be damaging both to the individuals and to the organisation. This workshop is about recognizing symptoms of stress and acting to reduce stressors and managing stress levels for individuals and organisations. 

Research-based: the workshop is based on behavioural and psychological effects of stress / strain and perceived organisational justice

Results-driven: the focus is on practical interactional and communication skills as well as step by step actions for leaders

People-friendly: the approach recognises the importance of individual emotional intelligence in stress management and the coping strategies of the leaders themselves 

Who would benefit?

Executives, managers, team leaders and groups in organisations that are either experiencing the effect of high levels of stress / strain, or who want to avoid those effects by taking action ahead of potentially stressful events or changed environments. This workshop would be particularly beneficial to your organisation if you are currently planning and implementing significant change initiatives.

Objectives

At the end of the workshop, your delegates will be able to identify generic symptoms and stressors and relate them to their own potential organisational situation. Delegates will have reviewed and selected appropriate stress management strategies for your organisation and will have developed a plan for their own systematic approach to managing stress for the extra mile times (see below) when they will be applying the skills and demonstrating measurable differences in their own coping strategies as well as supporting organisational actions to reduce stress / strain. 

Key topics covered

• Stress, good and bad
• The differences between strain, stressors and symptoms
• The impact of Organisational Justice – Distributive, Procedural and Interactional
• The important role of Emotional Intelligence
• Strategies to manage stress – actions at individual and organisational levels

The extra mile

Our aim is to combine sound research and practical experience with application in your organisation to ensure that the learning is transferred to real situations and used by the participants. Our facilitators will follow up with your delegates at agreed times after the workshop to support, encourage and measure their skill development and application.
