Benefits of Managing Workplace Stress
Reducing work related stress provides your organisation with the following benefits:
- Reduced absenteeism
Workplace anxiety causes a range of physical and emotional illness (including depression). It also suppresses our immune system so that it takes longer to recover from disease. This results in loss of work hours. - Reduced workers compensation claims
Stress-related claims account for almost 30% of all WorkCover claims and are about twice as expensive as other claims. See research - Reduced staff turnover
Employees who aren’t coping with tension at work are more likely to leave. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to replace an employee that has been with the company for many years. According to research, staff turnover costs are 150% of their annual salary, and it takes 20 weeks on average for new employees to become fully productive. - Higher staff morale
Reducing stress in the workplace means your employees will be happier and feel more positive about the company. - Better customer service
Staff who aren’t tense will be more pleasant toward your customers and provide better customer service. - Better inter-staff relations
When people are uptight at work, tempers flare and relationships can sour, leading to less co-operative, less cohesive teams. - Higher productivity
All of the factors mentioned above, plus the fact that many people think more clearly when they’re not stressed (and therefore make better decisions), means that putting in place effective stress management strategies will increase productivity and improve your bottom line.
Stress-related research
There has been a lot of research conducted into the adverse effects of stress on our mental, emotional and physical health. See some of the stress research here.
Keynote speakers
We can also provide you with keynote speakers to speak on the subject of stress management.
The webinar was very well received by our students, with a high number of registration. Please see student feedback below.
- Peter is an engaging and informative speaker. He speaks from experience on a subject we all need to master.
- Gratefulness and thankfulness for it all as a great learning experience:)
- A brilliant, simple, yet detailed explanation of building the skills and thinking to focus your attention on thoughts, feelings, and practices which help overcome overwhelm, stress and heightened emotions.
- The Resilience webinar helped me with putting life in perspective. It was very helpful. Thank you
- Very interesting webinar. I appreciated how the presenter used the brain diagram and mapping to explain different mental states, and how we can foster resilience in ourselves and support others to do the same.
- Really helpful information and tools to adjust your mindset!
- It was really helpful for my own personal development and I learnt many tools I can use as a practitioner to help my clients.
- Sound advice from the heart, that aligns with everything we are learning
- It felt informal even though it was evident that a lot of time, thought and discussion had gone into the session. Peter raised a lot of relevant impacts, related these to his personal experiences and journey, and did it in a positive and considered way. I enjoyed this session very much.
- It was a great – very practical and very useful. You should do it, it will change how you think, perceive and feel.
