Stress Management

In today's result orientated business environment, increasing demands are being made on us to perform. We must be able to handle not only the technical responsibilities of our jobs but also the pressures and stresses associated with a heavy workload, performing to expectations and coping with change.

We also have to deal with different people and personalities while trying to handle the competing demands being made on us both at work and at home.

To do so effectively requires both insight and skill and, in particular, an acceptance that while pressures, problems and stresses are part of everyday living, we do have the ability to minimise their impact through positive action on our part.

Objective
