Managing Priorities, Performance & Stress Training Course

Introduction:

In an ever-increasing pace of Life and Business, removing stress and operating with heightened sensory understanding becomes even more important.

Firstly, most people deny being stressed or affected by internal or external factors. Secondly, the most important thing you have is not money or other things; it is TIME; you can’t save it, you can’t stop it, and you will run out of it, so why not learn how to use it properly? As the cost of stress to the employer continues to grow, organizations must recognize stress in their employees and train management to manage stress productively.

A recent survey showed that 1 in 5 people report their work as very or extremely stressful, citing the nature of their work, relationships at work, or their employer as the cause.
