Stress Management
Today’s workplace demands high performance of its employees, but that no longer means putting work ahead of everything else. Organizations formerly disregarded the need to balance life outside of work and accepted the fact that productivity suffered as a result. Today’s more dynamic, team-oriented organizations require flexible, creative, sustainable performance, the kind that comes with people who know how to balance the urgent demands of work life and personal life without sacrificing either.
This Stress Management workshop uses The Coping &
Stress Profile®, a unique, self-directed learning instrument that provides
people with valuable feedback on stress and coping in four interconnected
areas of life:
Personal, Work, Couple, and Family. The profile uses an engaging process
of personal learning that:
• provides critical insight into how stress in one area of life impacts
other areas
• examines how coping resources in one area can be used to decrease
stress in another
• shows the relationship between stress, coping resources, and overall
satisfaction
Other stress management approaches focus primarily on using personal coping resources such as exercise, nutrition, and building self-esteem to deal with stress. The Coping & Stress Profile® focuses on relationship coping resources as the most effective and consistent response to stressors identified in all four life areas.
Stress Management helps people in organizations:
• discover stress issues in each life area and capitalize on coping
strengths to
manage stress
• learn to minimize or eliminate common daily stressors
• identify areas for coping skills improvement
• develop flexibility in responding to change
• communicate more effectively to improve problem-solving
• build mutually supportive relationships
