Resilience and Stress Management Training Course

I learnt how to recognise situations in my daily working and home life that I can work on to reduce my personal stress and build my resiliency skills.

We were taken through a process which allowed us to challenge our negative thoughts and look at things from a different perspective.

I found the mindfulness techniques really interesting as I had never practised them before and it is something I am interested to explore further and use as a tool to reduce the level of stress. Overall, a very helpful course.

A very useful course that offered practical steps on how to manage stress, presented excellently by Rob.

Thank you so much for the Resilience and Stress Management training. As someone who suffers from anxiety and impostor syndrome regularly, I found it very helpful. I particularly enjoyed the way you enabled interaction with colleagues to discuss and challenge our current thinking, and the useful tools such as the ABC Model.

Every employee has to recover from setbacks or face adversity at some point during their working life.

Our ability to ‘bounce back’ from these challenges is called resilience. It is the quality that helps us to deal with the things that challenge us, such as relentless change, increasing expectations, economic uncertainty, and adversity.

Resilient people are better able to manage their feelings, coping with stress in a way that doesn’t negatively impact their behaviour.

Our corporate resilience training is therefore designed to enable employees to increase this capability and help them to identify strategies to reduce their stress levels and perform better in difficult situations.

Everyone experiences stress at some level. Stress is how our body responds to pressure, so sometimes low levels of stress can motivate us and help us complete tasks and achieve goals.

But we must be careful that our feelings of stress don’t last for too long. The effects of chronic stress can be very serious. If left unchecked, long-term stress can lead to physical health problems such as high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes. Stress can also wear us out emotionally, leading to mental health problems such burnout, anxiety and depression.

Fortunately, it’s possible to deal with stress and improve your wellbeing. By learning how to boost your resilience you will be able to challenge your thoughts and reduce feelings of stress.

• Work-related stress is the most common force of stress in the UK, with only 1% of people saying that they ‘never’ experience work stress (Perkbox)
• A quarter of Britons say they have a mental health problem, and 63% say they know someone who does (YouGov)
• For every £1 invested in workplace mental health interventions, organisations see a return on investment £4.70 (Deloitte 2024)
• 79% of organisations have reported stress-related absence and this figure rises to 90% for large organisations (CIPD)
• In 2022/23 stress, depression or anxiety accounted for 49% of all work-related ill health cases. (HSE)

The resilience in the workplace course enables participants to:

• Define resilience and understand how it can be built
• Look in depth at the causes of stress and plan steps to better manage and reduce them
• Create an open forum within the working environment where employees feel confident in discussing mental wellbeing with colleagues

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
