Workplace Health and Well-Being Course

Overview

Work-related stress is a growing concern in the workplace today. Recent evidence across EU Member States classifies exposure to stress as the main workplace health and safety risk (Euro barometer Working Conditions, 2014). This results in a huge cost for employers if left unaddressed. Unsurprisingly, surveys have revealed that stress results in lower productivity for affected businesses. It also makes it difficult for them to retain employees, which leads to increased costs for recruitment and training.

What you'll get

During the consecutive remainder sessions, a practitioner from the Public Service’s Employee Support Programme would interact with participants on the core theme, workplace health and well-being.
