Creating Balance at Work – Managing Stress

As the pace of change in the workplace continues to increase; we continue to try and balance our careers, families and personal lives.  Some people feel under immense pressure while they ‘spin the plates’ and keep each part of their lives running. 

According to a 2005 Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Survey in the UK, a total of 12.8million working days were lost due to stress, depression and anxiety in 2004/5; which cost businesses around £3.7 billion a year. 

When staff manage the demands on themselves better, they operate at peak performance and contribute massively to business results.  When they do not, the effects can be disastrous, leading to disruption, ineffective working, absenteeism and potentially long term sickness.  To have a truly effective team, it’s vital that staff know how to create and maintain this delicate balance, and that the organisation provides ongoing support in this area.

Workshop Aim:

As a result of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify the primary causes of stress in the workplace
• Recognise the signs of lack of balance in their lives
• Develop action plans that will help them to deal with problem situations

This one day programme will enable attendees to deal with the conflicts and pressures of modern business life, learning to balance their personal and work lives effectively, leading to increased performance. 

Participants will learn:

• The five primary causes of imbalance and tension
• The secrets of dealing with conflicting demands on their time
• How to get balance in their lives
• Strategies to get control in demanding situations
• How to create internal drive and motivation
• The key to enjoying their work

This course is designed to be fun and interactive and to provide participants with the tools they need to be incredibly effective.

Who should attend?

This course is suitable for anyone in business today at both junior and senior levels.  It is particularly applicable for those who have unusually high demands on their time and priorities:

• People in roles with high level demands on their time
• Customer facing team members who need to provide high quality front line service at all times
• Employees in transition to another role in the organisation
• Those responsible for team members who need to understand how to support their team’s continued high performance.

Tailored programmes and coaching

The core components of this workshop can also be delivered as a ½ day introductory session.  An advanced or follow-on session might be appropriate where participants could be responsible for coaching other individuals who have to deal with stressful situations.  Tailored training courses can be designed to meet specific requirements – for example for specific situations and demands in the workplace. One-to-one coaching is also available to assist with specific situations, or to help in restoring balance in a particular scenario.
