Work Stress Management

About the Course

Ensuring maximal performance is the ultimate goal of any successful organisation. Out of the plethora of factors influencing performance, stress ranks high on the list. Therefore, organisational leaders and managers alike need to comprehend the nature of stress at work, identify its types and triggers, and utilise that understanding to optimise workplace performance and efficiency.

Contrary to popular belief that it is always harmful, an appropriate amount of stress can create favorable performance results. Such healthy amounts of stress are not universal but somewhat individualistic; proper amounts of stress differ because individuals have different capacities to endure and accumulate varying levels and stress types. Consequently, organisational leaders ought to comprehend stress tolerance elasticity per individual and be adept at administering adequate stress levels per employee to maximise productivity. Moreover, carrying stress from the workplace can create mental and physical tension that negatively affects stressed employees' personal lives.

Understanding the problem is critical to solving it; therefore, it will examine the primary triggers of stress outlined in prominent research articles and studies. Finally, it will introduce and discuss several techniques that can be applied to mitigate harmful stress levels and manage/control their root causes accordingly to enhance employees' overall performance and their organisations alike.
