Perhaps the greatest gift you can give your employees is to teach them how to manage their stress effectively. With these skills they can be happier, healthier, more fulfilled personally -- and more productive and satisfied on the job.

Stress Management Resources has designed a workshop to help participants reformulate their habits for dealing with stress. The course is designed for a full day but can be given in increments or modified for a shorter time period. The program is effective with large and small groups.

The course is conducted informally using group discussion and exercises that allow employees to actually experience different stress reduction techniques. The workshop includes material to help individuals understand what stress is, the effect stress has on health and wellbeing, and ways to minimize the negative effects of stress.Participants receive an audiotape and take-home materials, so that they can continue to practice what they learn.

This workshop has been conducted for PaineWebber Inc., Turner Broadcasting Inc., The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Printpack Inc. and Pike Family Nurseries, among others.
