Foundation Course in Organisational Stress Management

Stress is a universal experience that affects people from all walks of life. 

In today’s fast-paced world, more and more individuals are grappling with stress, feeling overwhelmed, and struggling with the relentless demands on their time. 

While some stress can be beneficial by motivating us to tackle challenges, excessive and chronic stress triggers the body’s stress response system continually, leading to harmful consequences.

The prolonged release of cortisol, a primary stress hormone, increases the risk of numerous physical and mental health issues, including insomnia, heart disease, obesity, depression, and cognitive impairments. 

The modern workforce, in particular, is facing an epidemic of job burnout and stress. Employees at all levels often feel overburdened, insecure, and misunderstood, with many believing that workplace demands have become unmanageable.
