“Some people find that drinking or smoking helps them cope with too much stress but it’s those same coping strategies that can lead to bigger problems than the stress itself.” Helena Fone.
If you have staff or clients who may be affected by trauma, then ‘Stress & Trauma Awareness Training’ may interest you. Trauma can cause depression and behavioural problems in the workplace. Left untreated, it may result in disciplinary extended sick-leave, dismissal and legal liability for the employer.it. Stress in the workplace impacts upon productivity, increases management pressures, and makes people ill in many ways, evidence of which is still increasing. Workplace stress affects the performance of the brain, including functions of work performance; memory, concentration, and learning. One fifth of Maltese workers claimed they suffered from some form of workplace stress.
The issue of stress at work is a business-critical one and employers have an obligation to manage work-related stress, as outlined in the European Framework Directive 89/391/EEC. If stress and its causes are not managed properly it will cause employee health and absence problems, and reduce individual and organisational productivity. However, too few employers understand what stress is, how it affects people, or how to identify and manage it. A recent study found that approximately 74% of Maltese employees will most likely suffer workplace stress in the next 5 years – a startling statistic.
Employees on this course will be taught what defines stress how to recognise it and what contributes to it. This may be bad time management, harassment, bullying, inability to delegate etc. They will be taught how to identify the emotional barriers that contribute to poor performance, under-achievement or poor working relationships.
Managers on the course will also be shown how to effectively deal with situations that they may not be emotionally equipped to cope with. For example, a manager who is not comfortable with confrontation may even shy away from reprimanding a member of staff.
By dealing with stress at an early stage, managers are better informed and able to identify stress factors. Individuals can avoid having a mental health problem recorded against them which may affect future employment or health insurance.
