Course Content

A practical and pragmatic 1day programme that will give managers the knowledge and tools to embed sound management practices and disciplines to prevent and manage stress and fulfil their duty of care.

Uniquely this programme goes beyond the basic legal/compliance requirements, and whilst dealing with the issues of stress and psychological well being of individuals, sticks to simple practical and realistic steps that managers can implement for the benefit of their teams and the company, rather than “ideal world” scenarios.
