Workplace stress
Stress will have touched all our lives at some point.
But there are many myths surrounding work-related stress - myths which cloud the issue of stress and stop organisations from minimising its damage! Long-held beliefs include:
- A little stress is good for you
- Only weak people suffer from stress
- Stress affects everyone the same way
- Combating workplace stress will cost too much
- People can leave work-related stress behind when they are at home
MRD helps leaders bust these myths and get to reality of stress in the modern day work place. We want to ask youthe question: ‘Am I the cause of stress among my staff or the antidote?’ From this point of clarity we can help you on the road of how to reduce stress and its effects in your self and your teams.
At MRD we have wide-ranging experience in identifying the causes of stress and developing the right solutions. Our approach aims to give organisations and their employees:
- A relevant and practical understanding of stress
- Guidance on changes required for long-term stress reduction that you can apply directly
As a result your organisation can expect:
- Greater productivity and efficiency
- Lower levels of sickness and absence
- Fewer accidents in the workplace
- Greater commitment, creativity and focus at work

“All the managers did the training, so all the mangers can now spot anything that might mean a team member is suffering from stress and be aware of how to respond. We can now recommend the best and most effective course of action in situations before stress creates poor performance, lateness, sickness etc.”
