Stress Management | HR Series for Supers & Managers

Part of our HR Series for Supers & Managers. Sessions have no prerequisites and can be taken in any order. Participants are not obligated to attend additional sessions in the series.

This session will explore the symptoms and sources of stress at work and home, as well as how to manage stress with daily strategies and an action plan for stress reduction. Current workforce stress and job burnout are at record-high levels, with many workers at all levels of organisations feeling overwhelmed.  Supervisors and managers who attend will benefit from greater insight into how stress impacts individuals.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Define stress and how it affects individuals
• Understand that stress is an unavoidable part of everybody’s life
• Recognize the symptoms that tell you when you have chronic stress overload
• What stress looks like at work and at home
• Understand how to change the situations and actions that can be changed and deal better with those that can’t
• Identify mental strategies and time management tips to use to manage stress
• Create an action plan for work, home, and play that will help reduce and manage stress
