Changing the effects of stress on productivity and wellbeing
- 13.5 Million days/yr lost!
The HSE in their 2008 study show: "that
in 2007/08
an estimated 442,000 people in Great Britain, who worked in the last
year, believed that they were suffering from stress, depression or
anxiety caused or made worse by their current or past work. This
equates to 1,500 per 100,000 people (1.5%) who worked in the last 12
months in Great Britain".
Whether it is helping managers to notice stress patterns (and then able
to reduce its effects) or whether it is to change reactions to
personal stress in your staff (and the ability to manage their own stress levels) we have
training interventions for you.
Stress patterns
reduce efficacy in people and teams - typically these show up first in
absenteeism statistics. We know that if the stress
levels persist and people get used to high-levels of persistent stress,
that they are more prone to errors, erratic productivity and poor health. These effects are often driven by a
conditioned pattern of 'persistent stress' in which the afflicted person
becomes unable to bring themselves out of their 'stress' at will. More
information is available taken from 'Self-coaching Leadership' by Angus
McLeod.
