Gain a better understanding of stress
April 1st 2008

Helping health and safety managers address work related stress, the International Stress Management Association (ISMA) is holding its 9th annual conference, which focuses on preventing work-related stress and other key issues relating to stress management.

The conference has attracted some of the UK's leading experts from the field of stress and will take place at The Institute of Child Health in London on 27th June 2008.

In addition to the latest research on the role of management competencies and leadership in preventing work-related stress there will be an update on the Health and Safety Executive's management standards approach to stress in the workplace.

"We also emphasise the importance of managing individual stress, looking at the research and best practice interventions," ISMA chair Jane Thomas explains.

Workshops will address the latest research, theory and practice on coaching at work and its role in managing stress, the detection and elimination of drugs and alcohol in the workplace and the issue of selfinflicted stress.

The event is open to members and nonmembers of ISMA.
