STRESS IN THE WORKPLACE

As investors in people you will appreciate the need to actively combat the negative effects of stress. Your company's biggest resource is its people. We all have different ways of managing stress, which generally work well for us. BUT sometimes these fail. This is when the role of holistic therapies can help with the damaging physical and psychological effects of unmanaged stress.

Holistic therapy can provide a working solution to the problems associated with work-related stress, that can undermine the health of your business and employees. We provide a range of Complementary Therapies with a proven record in effective stress-reduction. Feel free to contact us for an informal chat.

What is Stress?

Stress is the internal response we make to external changes and difficulties, whether real or imaged.

There are many different forms of stress, from environmental, emotional, work related, mental, chemical and nutritional stress. Stress is the "wear and tear" our bodies and mind experience as we adjust to our continually changing environment; therefore the physical and emotional effects it has on us, creates positive or negative feelings.

But remember stress is not necessarily bad - it all depends on how we manage it.

For the first time in 2004, work related stress, not back pain, was the number one reason for lost workdays in the UK. The Financial Times suggests stress related illnesses costs British Industry over £3.7 billion every year. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are taking the issue very seriously.
