Presentation by Shepell for faculty and staff, no cost.
Workplace stress can be triggered by many sources: heavy workloads with tight timelines, layoffs or restructurings, or difficult co-workers. When combined with the pressures and responsibilities outside of work, it is no wonder that employees may experience high levels of stress in their daily routine.
Left unaddressed, stress can lead to absenteeism and has the potential to turn into a major mental or physical health concern. This session will teach participants how to effectively manage stress for optimal health, and workplace productivity.
Learning objectives:
At the end of this session, participants will be able to do the following:
– Define stress and the fight or flight response.
– Identify personal stressors and symptoms.
– Develop strategies to increase their personal resiliency.
