Introduction
In today's rapidly changing work environment, effectively managing people and workplace problems is invaluable, making this successful people management course an essential foundation for anyone looking to enhance their managerial competencies.
Why can't people leave their problems at the front gate?
People's problems can include work-related stress, marriage problems, lack of motivation, work stress, long work hours, turnover, under-staffing, nationalization, bullying, and job insecurity, all of which impact an employee's health and performance. The cost to the employer can be enormous. No matter your industry, stress at work can be an authentic and overwhelming experience.
The amount of employees suffering from stress and stress-related illnesses is rapidly rising.
