Course of the week: 10 Minutes Managing Stress

Employee stress negatively affects employee wellbeing. Barriers that stop employees working to the best of their ability can lead to stress and will impact productivity and staff mental health.

In line with this month's topic of workplace wellbeing, we've chosen to review the course 10 Minutes Managing Stress created by Learning Planet.

When employees are happy and healthy, they’re engaged. Engaged employees are almost always more productive and profitable. Stressed employees, on the other hand, can become burnt-out and put their mental health at risk.

The problems of not addressing employee stress:

• Creates a negative work culture where people aren’t encouraged or supported
• Lower workplace energy and optimism
• Poor communication
• Uncertainty around job role and responsibility
• Stress can be due to heavy workload, unrealistic deadlines
• People with mental health conditions aren’t supported

Stress and resilience skills in the workplace can give your employees the ability to cope with and rise to the inevitable challenges, problems and setbacks you meet in the course of your life and come back stronger from them. Pressures and stressors will continue to increase with greater time management demands and workloads.

Learning Planet, via Go1, has information readily available in 1 minute and 10 minute videos to offer your employees effective stress management techniques. Why not act now and help your staff adapt to stress, while also improving your workplace culture of wellbeing?
