If leaders are serious about supporting the wellbeing of their employees, it is important to go back to basics, reviewing, management practices, policies, organisational culture, expectations, and technology … Increased understanding of how the brain works, the real causes of stress and how to support individuals to perform at their best, even in the most demanding workplaces.
In the workplace, pressure is unavoidable due to the ever-increasing demands and challenges organisations are facing. Indeed, in some instances pressure can be a good thing, when it is perceived as being at an acceptable level for the individual, as it can help focus the mind and provide motivation.

They will also be running two group workshop sessions, open to all visitors of World of Learning, across 10 & 11 October. Scroll down for more information.
