Learn to recognise and manage stress
February 1st 2010 With the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) indicating that
stress is likely to become a more
significant risk to organisations in
the next few years, it makes good
business sense to protect your
employees. Health and safety
consultancy Praxis42's Stress
Awareness for Managers course
uses joint CIPD and HSE guidance
to help managers manage the issue
of stress at work.
The course covers the nature of
stress, and its causes, the difference
between stress and pressure and
how to recognise the common signs
and symptoms of stress at work. It
also looks at how management
behaviourscan positively or
negatively impact on stress.
Mike Stevens Praxis42's head of
training said: "Managing stress in
the workplace is often avoided as
'too hot to handle' or seen as a
Human Resources or Occupational
Health problem. Manager
engagement and awareness is an
essential part of an organisation's
strategy."
The eLearning training course
can be completed at any time where
trainees can access the internet. More articles from Praxis 42 Limited: |
