Coping With Stress

To avoid the peaks and valleys of productivity created by high stress levels, employees need to know how to respond to increasing demands in the workplace. Research shows that people who develop and use relationship coping resources manage their stress far more effectively than people who rely only on personal coping resources like diet and exercise. This program focuses on Problem Solving, Communication, Connection and Flexibility to manage stress effectively. It shows how coping resources in one area can be used to decrease stress in another, and how stress, coping resources, and overall satisfaction are closely related.

Participant Comments

“I’d highly recommend this program. It was very enlightening.”

“Other stress management courses I took focused on diet and exercise… which I never got around to doing. This program offered me easy to use, real-world strategies I can use at work now. Great program.”

“I never realized the importance of asking for help when I needed it… and now I see why my Connection scores were low. I can reduce my stress a lot by just asking for what I need!”

“I really liked that I could take the profile home and use it to also assess my stress levels there.”
