Managing Workplace Anxiety
Managing Workplace Anxiety
Everyone will feel anxious at some point in their lives. Anxiety is a natural response defined by feelings of fear or apprehension. The workplace is one of the most common settings where people suffer anxiety or high levels of stress. While it is common to experience fear or feel out of place at work on occasion, it can become a major problem if the anxiety becomes overwhelming and prevents you from executing your daily responsibilities. Anxiety can have a detrimental impact on your work quality and performance, as well as your relationships with colleagues. Identifying your workplace anxiety and developing effective coping skills can allow you to work with it rather than against it.
Our Managing Workplace Anxiety course will teach your participants tools and practical strategies for recognizing and managing anxiety in the workplace. Participants will feel more secure in their working surroundings and better equipped to face the problems that the workplace may provide.
