Stress Management

Stress awareness seminars

People can become stressed just by talking about stress! So we have developed a series of seminars that break down stress to a more bearable level.

'Stress' can be an abstract and meaningless term unless applied to a stressor or cause of stress. If we can identify what the stressors are and how we respond to them, then we can start to prepare for and manage better any potential negative impact.

The stress seminars are entitled: 'Stress: Causes, Consequences & Cures' and can be delivered in full day, half day and evening time segments. The lively, informative yet sensitive programme allows for delegates to identify their own stressors, consider potential consequences of stress and provides a series of positive action plans.

Stress audits

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recently published their Management Standards for Tackling Work Related Stress (2004). While there is no current plan for statutory regulation, it is clear that future litigation involving stress will be assessed in relation to these Standards. The HSE has carried out a handful of 'Notices' to employers failing to respond reasonably to stress at work.

The Calma Partnership has developed a Stress Audit to reflect these Standards. This enables your organisation to identify potential workplace stressors.

If you would like to find out more about our Stress Audit, and our competitive rates, please contact us for more details.

In the meantime, please take the Stress at Work Test which helps to highlight potential sources of stress for you and offers some practical solutions.
