The day long session was designed to cover stress awareness, proactive stress management, reactive stress management and action planning and resources.

During the day the small group of representatives from a variety of businesses including Rockwell Collins, PD Motors and the RSPCA took part in group and individual exercises. The course was highly interactive and contained a variety of exercises, including case studies, scenarios, questionnaires, group discussion, personal reflection, and action planning.

“We believe it’s very important to encourage businesses in the District to have an active and healthy workplace, which in turn makes companies more productive.

“By running courses such as this as part of our Healthy Workplace scheme we are giving the opportunity to businesses to learn new skills which can benefit their employees, and in the long run their companies.”
