Stress Management Coaching

Did you know that over 13 million working days per year are lost through injury or ill-health brought about by work-related stress?


The bad news therefore is that with an average of 29 days lost per case, the cost to business and society is approximately £3.7 billion a year


The good news is that when stress is managed effectively, it develops positive behaviour which often acts as a stimulant and assists people to operate at peak efficiency.


For most organisations, finding a balance to deal with stress effectively is often a challenge.


Employers and managers feel uncomfortable highlighting health issues and employees are generally concerned that admitting to stress will indicate an inability to cope and perform effectively.


Helping managers and employees recognise and deal with their own levels of stress arousal through stress management coaching is one way of targeting stress in your workplace.


Managers and employees are assisted with their stress levels through individual and confidential coaching. This promotes:-



  • Employees who bring solutions not problems

  • Increased productivity

  • A decrease in lost working days


In addition to stress management coaching, organisations might also find it beneficial to consider the following:



  • reviewing the work environment to identify potential stress factors that could affect employees and see if there are ways to remove them

  • tackle work overload or under load by looking at targets and revising them so they are realistic.

  • You may also want to consider changing people’s workload or providing time management training to help employees prioritise workloads

  • encourage employees to talk through worries and concerns with managers and ensure managers take a sympathetic and supportive approach

  • Introduce a buddy scheme to minimise stress by creating a fun and supportive working environment.
