This workbook starts with the premise that stress is damaging to the organization as a whole and that effective stress prevention will only happen if people work together to understand stress, audit its causes and symptoms and act to deal with its impact. The authors describe the technique of "innoculating your staff against stress" and place it amongst the other core skills and responsibilities of the manager or team leader. Using a mixture of facts, techniques, cartoons and illustrations, questionnaires, quizzes, exercises and games, the authors provide the means to: understand what stress is and what responsiblities your organization has under the law; identify the precise causes of stress within your own team and develop strategies for reducing their impact; recognize the symptoms of stress in your team and understand the role you have supporting individuals; and understand the four main strands to reducing stress and how to apply them in the workplace. This text is aimed at managers and team-leaders at all levels, for self-study, and trainers for use in conjunction with formal courses - whether in-company or external.
