Stress Recognition and Management Training

Sometimes we are aware of when stress is building and can take the necessary steps to avoid it before it overwhelms us. However, on many occasions it has already taken us by storm and is having a detrimental effect on our lives before we begin to take it seriously. Our work may be suffering in terms of quantity, quality or both, our sleeping patterns may be disturbed, and our relationships may be damaged. Allow this to continue and our health begins to suffer. Stress is costly on a personal and an economic level for both employee and employer.

At DOCS we offer training sessions aimed at helping your staff to identify stress in themselves and others. We can then offer education in techniques to help reduce it in the early stages, so that together, we can prevent it from becoming a serious issue.

Our experienced staff can work with your employees, listen to their issues and offer the appropriate guidance and support. Working in small groups, employees can share their experiences, become more aware of what others may be facing and be less critical of themselves.

Stress may seem like a personal crisis but the effects of it can be felt throughout your business. Only together can we work to make this modern day sickness a thing of the past and create solid foundations for the future.

Our program
