Work and Life Stress: Building Resilience in Organisations

ConsultingTools, in association with Fenman are pleased to announce the Work and Life Stress Master Class, taking place at The Window, in Islington, London on 26th April.

This Free half-day Master Class will be led by Dr Kenneth M. Nowack, Ph.D. 

Perceptions of stress at work are high with several studies suggesting that 20% to 65% of all employees rate their jobs as being very or extremely stressful (source HSE). Another study by Envisia Learning suggests that 65% of all employees report having felt stress and pressure on the job; and in a recent poll by USA based TrueCareers, more than 70% of workers do not think there is a healthy balance between work and their personal lives.

This Master Class will explain why some employees stay healthy in the face of work, family and life challenges and remain free from job burnout, depression and physical illness. Delegates will also be exposed to StressScan, a personal stress and health assessment used in executive and lifestyle coaching programmes.

As a result of this Master Class, you will be able to:

• Understand the relationship between stress, productivity, and well-being

• Identify stress and health risks and resources using StressScan

• Identify and personally recognise sources of both work and life stress

• Become familiar with and practice a variety of cognitive, affective and behavioural stress and health management coping techniques

• Build greater confidence and skills in managing self and others' daily work and life stress in a healthy and productive manner

Who should attend?

This master class provides an opportunity for individuals to gain insight and help manage daily work and life stress for oneself and others. It is ideally suited for those working in organisations in the areas of HR or Health & Safety, and also for coaches and consultants who can apply these techniques within their own coaching or consultancy work.
