Stress Awareness & Management Training - Online Learning

This IOSH Approved and CPD accredited course is split into 3 easy-to-follow sections and takes just 30 minutes to complete online.

Stress is something that can affect all of us - it's something that can contribute to a great many illnesses, and more working days are lost due to stress than for any other single reason.

Our Stress Awareness in the Workplace training course shows you how to take positive steps to prevent stress; it looks at how to stay in control when the pressure is mounting and highlights the tell-tale signs to help you recognise problems before they become serious. It also provides strategies to put in place to prevent pressure from getting out of control - suggesting ways to change daily routines and learned behaviours to allow a better and more productive working life.

Statistics show there are around 526,000 cases of work-related stress in Great Britain and Ireland each year, with nearly 12.5 million working days lost - that's over 3 weeks for each case. If you think that your staff may be susceptible to stress, allow our Stress Awareness & Management Training to help you recognise and combat the signs of workplace stress.

Course contents

This training course is broken down into 3 sections

1. 1 Understanding Stress
2. 2 Identifying Stress
3. 3 Reducing and Preventing Stress

SECTION 1

What is stress? In section one of our Stress Awareness Training, we look at the mental and physical impact stress can have on a person, how it makes you feel and the science behind stress. We also look at an age-old reaction to stress - Fight or Flight. 

SECTION 2

The amount of pressure that we can take varies from person to person, so it’s important to pay attention to how you are feeling and behaving. But as you know, how you feel can change from one day to the next, or even from moment to moment for some people. In this section, we’ll take a look at some of the stress factors so you can identify the signs of stress.

SECTION 3

It’s crucial to know what stress is and how to identify it, but it’s just as important to act on what you find so you can reduce or remove it. But of course, the best thing is to take early action to prevent stress from appearing in the first place. In this section of our Stress Awareness Training, we offer some effective strategies that can help.
