Learn how to identify, manage, reduce, and even eliminate sources of stress in the workplace to increase organizational productivity, improve morale, and contribute to overall workplace wellness.

Workplace stress is an ever-increasing reality in today's modern work environment.  Employees are faced with competing priorities at work and at home, technology-induced demand for access 24/7, and lean staffing which adds to overall workload.  These modern stressors, if unmanaged, can affect productivity and the general sense of well-being within an organization. Understanding how to identify the sources of stress and incorporating realistic coping strategies into the work environment will help both employees and organizations enhance overall performance and improve morale.  This experiential workshop is designed to help participants identify workplace stressors and develop a stress management plan.
