Leadership Training Programs Stress Management Have you heard? The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has declared stress a hazard of the workplace. Whether family demands are weighing you down or tightened resources lay on the pressure at work, stress has become a daily obstacle in many people’s lives. The result can be missed work days, low morale or depression, and even a higher risk of illness and injury. And don’t think that a job needs to involve physical danger to cause very real – and very unhealthy – stress. Unrealistic deadlines, unfair workloads, and even personal expectations can bring about serious consequences for your workforce in the form of stress and burnout. Why should I care? While a certain amount of stress can motivate employees, unmanaged stress can be extremely expensive. It costs your workers their personal happiness and health and your organization lost time and money in the form of sick days and lowered productivity. Your employees don’t even have to be enduring stress on the job for this to happen. Stress from personal issues often invades workers on the job the same way that workplace stress can follow them home. Whatever the cause of employee stress, the body’s reaction to it can create conditions that keep them from performing at the top of their game. And with stress-related ailments and complaints making up 75% to 90% of physician office visits, that’s something you need to be concerned about. What can I do? Stress is never wholly unavoidable, no matter who you are or what you do. But like so many other things in this world, managing your stress is something you can learn. That’s where we come in. Our stress management leadership training seminar teaches you and your employees about stress from all aspects: What exactly it is, how it manifests itself, how to cope, and how to keep yourself from burning out in the future. What will I gain? Healthier, happier employees. Seen in a healthy light, stress has positive effects, and can motivate and drive employees to do their best and push their own limits. Employees who manage stress effectively no longer drag stress from home into work and vice versa. They achieve better work-life balance and see improved relationships in both spheres of their lives. And happy workers mean better productivity, improved morale, and, ultimately, increased retention for your organization. |
