What is Stress?
Stress is an emotional and physical response from the body that may have either internal or external demands.

What Causes Stress?
Stress is often related to demands that we perceive as difficult to handle. Major life changes are obvious causes of stress but so are many of our daily demands.

Stress in the workplace
A large proportion of working individuals are experiencing work related stress at a level that is making them ill. Stress, depression or anxiety is one of the major contributors to sick days (Stress, Robertson, I and Cooper, C. 2008).

Stress is a serious problem in today’s workplaces. It is by no means just an individual health issue. Workplace stress has serious cost, productivity and morale consequences for the organisation. The good news is that stress does not have to be a fact of working life. By proactive stress management, individuals and organisations can tackle stress together and realise benefits for both the individual and the organisation as a whole.

At QOH, our psychologists can train and support your managers with simple stress management techniques that can be tailored to your organisation - including identifying stress triggers, managing stress and relaxation techniques.

We can conduct a Stress Audit to determine what your levels of stress are like and recommend measures to control and manage this.
