Workplace Stress and Conflict are Costing You Big Dollars!
Walt Disney once said “you can dream, build and create the most wonderful place possible – but people make it happen” … he was right. Your company’s greatest asset is its people. Workplace stress is really life stress. It’s not like your employees can just turn their stress off as they walk out the workplace door. And, what they leave work with affects their entire life and those around them.
Statistics from a recent study done at Harvard Medical School, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, revealed the average person with depression and anxiety issues can’t work or do normal activity for 5 weeks in a year – comparing with just 15 days for diabetes or hypertension. Employed adults with major depression lose about 8 hours of productivity a week on the job. Depression alone costs US employers about $31 billion annually in productivity, not counting disability leave payments.
Depression and anxiety sap energy, cause problems with concentration, memory and decision-making. Supervisors or managers are extraordinarily impaired because the nature of their work is to – make decisions! And, the personal and financial costs escalate still further if a worker's untreated stress issues contribute to alcohol or drug abuse. If you help your people who are struggling their productivity will increase, your bottom line will be better and you’ll see the difference in your work environment!
I’ll help your employees discover how they got to where they are and what their best personal strategy is to find lasting victory. Small changes in thinking patterns, relationships, diet, exercise and developing a safe support community can make a huge difference in managing stress and conflict. These workplace sessions can be custom adapted to your setting and time constraints. Full-day, half-day, 2 hour and 1 hour formats are available. There is a separate management track offered as well. Your struggling people can get their lives back and live with purpose and passion. And, when your employees have better lives, they’ll be better employees! (Bellwether Magazine article - click here)
