Managing Workplace Stress for Managers

Stress can hinder productivity by affecting decision-making, concentration and the ability to perform tasks efficiently. Managers who understand and proactively manage stress in their team members can reduce stress levels, prevent burnout and increase job satisfaction.

As role models for their team members, managers can set a positive example for their employees by demonstrating effective stress management. This will encourage team members to do the same, reducing the impact of negative stress on the team and leading to a more consistent and reliable workforce.

Summary

Our stress management training builds on the ways in which managers can support their teams by managing workplace stress effectively. Learners will explore the stress symptoms to look out for in others, the techniques that work well in dealing with stress, and what actions to take to reduce the risk of team stress.

Effective stress management is key to unlocking the potential of any individual or team. Managers who build work environments promoting a healthy response to stress are more likely to succeed in ensuring that their teams reach personal and professional fulfilment.
