Managing Stress

Attention: open in a new window. PDF

Course Code: 3936

Stress is a fact of modern life. It results from the imbalance between demands made upon an individual and the personal resources (skills, knowledge, attitudes, personality etc.) and external resources (social support, coaching etc) available to meet those demands. What is stressful to one person is not to another. When handled poorly, stress negatively impacts on our lives and our businesses. When handled well it pushes us to strive and succeed. How businesses handle employee stress is key to their success. 13.5 million work days were lost in 07/08 due to stress related sickness (statistic based on labour Force Survey).
