Mental Health & Stress Management

Synopsis

What is Stress? Bills to pay. Deadlines to meet. Frustrations or anxiety with people. Juggling the demands of work and parenthood. Stress is an inevitable part of our lives. And life is full of potential sources of stress. But stress is not always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. However, when you are constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price. Employee health and wellness is a significant factor in productivity, wellbeing, and performance that cannot be overlooked. As part of modern living, stress is unavoidable. As such, health and wellness must be a part of any effective engagement strategy.
