Taking the Stress out of Business

A certain amount of stress in our lives is good for us - it keeps us motivated, alert and efficient in the workplace. However, with 13.8 million days lost due to stress-related illness in the UK per year, companies need to know when stress stops being positive and instead becomes a problem for their employees.

By attending our ‘Taking the Stress out of Business' half day workshops you can find out from our expert staff how to combat stress-related issues in your workplace.

These workshops are led by psychology and occupational management professionals who specialise in controlling stress at work. From their knowledge and experience you will learn how to avoid potential stress-related issues, maintain productivity and reduce employee absenteeism.

Uncovering what businesses should know about stress

Designed specifically for personnel responsible for the health and well-being of employees, attendees will come away with a clear idea of:

• How to detect the early signs and symptoms of stress?
• What is the best way to approach an individual that may be showing signs of stress?
• A series of techniques designed to support an individual if they are experiencing negative levels of stress?

Who should attend?

It is now a legal obligation for all companies that employ over five people to have a stress policy in place. That's why Express Medicals has designed these workshops to be relevant for all types of businesses, no matter what size or sector.

The directors of businesses as well as middle managers in large corporations and HR managers, have found these workshops to be an essential tool in developing a relevant, safe-guarding policy on stress.
