It’s well recognised that excessive or sustained pressure can lead to stress. Occupational stress poses a risk to businesses and can result in higher sickness absence, lower staff engagement and reduced productivity. According to the HSE, 17.9 million working days were lost to stress, anxiety or depression in 2019/20. In 2021 the Chartered Institute of Personal and Development (CIPD) through their health and wellbeing at work survey report, showed that stress continues to be one of the main causes of short and long-term absence in the workplace. Overall, nearly four-fifths of respondents reported some stress-related absence in their organisation over the last year. Positively, more employers are recognising stress as an issue, and taking steps to tackle stress within their organisations. This short programme brings together key insights, in relation to building resilience, from the areas of Coaching Psychology, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Reflective Practice, Wellbeing, Research Skills, Team Development and one to one Person Centered Coaching. It is offered in the recognition that organisational settings are increasing concerned at the impact of stress on employees and in many cases are actively seeking ways to support staff through changing and challenging times. This course is suitable for those who wish to build their own wellbeing and mental strength and for those who wish to promote and develop wellbeing in the workplace. We live in a time of great complexity and volatility which challenges us to develop a style of engagement that adapts and meets such uncertainty with skill, self-care and psychological flexibility. This programme provides a roadmap for that journey.
