Stress Management Workshops

The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that 1 in 3 adults suffer from moderate to extreme levels of stress, and workplace stress is now costing Australian employers more than $10 billion per year*. (*The Cost of Workplace Stress in Australia, Medibank Private, August 2008)

The consequences of excessive workplace stress include:

• Decreased productivity
• Loss of motivation
• Lack of teamwork
• High staff turnover
• Dissatisfied customers and clients

Under the OH&S Act employers have a responsibility to maintain the health of their employees, and the definition of 'health' now includes psychological health. Our unique stress management workshops will help you meet your workplace health responsibilities. We specialise in training employees to mobilise their inner resources - to improve their health, maximise their performance and build more effective workplace relationships.

Our stress management workshops develop awareness of stress and its effects on performance. Your staff will learn about the physical and psychological impacts of the stress and how to recognise their personal stress signals.

What's unique about our stress management workshops?

Our stress management workshops are skills-based and highly interactive. We'll train your staff in practical mind-management strategies for maximising personal and professional performance. Your staff will learn how to:

• Recognise stress symptoms before they become an issue
• Use stress reduction techniques while they work
• Think more clearly
• Stay calm under pressure, and
• Get more done in less time.

All our stress management workshops include training in practical stress management techniques. Participants take away mp3 audio files of the techniques delivered during the workshops to facilitate ongoing practice of their new-found skills.
