  • Overview

    The aim

    To be able to understand the nature of stress and how it affects people.


    About the programme

    Pressure is a part of simply being alive: pressure is positive and drives us towards our goals. However, when the amount of pressure we are experiencing rises above what we believe we can cope with, it can easily turn to stress and that can be a very bad thing.

    In the United Kingdom it is estimated that one third of absence from work is stress related. Other industrial countries report similar findings. Stress represents a very large financial cost to organisations and an equally large personal cost to individuals in the form of physical and behavioural symptoms. This programme is all about limiting the potential stressors at work that can lead to damaging stress.

    A host of stressed characters, in a multitude of scenes, are guided by a Guardian Angel through an eight-point plan which includes: getting your priorities right, considering needs and workloads, communicating clearly, learning to say 'no’, and being flexible.

    The programme shows how our own behaviour can be stressful to ourselves and others and how changes to that behaviour can lead to a more stress-free working environment. Admitting to and dealing with stress isn't a weakness, it's a positive action that can reap huge personal and organisational rewards.


    The key outcomes

    -Limit potential stressors and change your individual behavioural patterns
    -Increase positivity and well-being in your organisation
