Together with Dr. Shvindina, the participants explored the various facets of stress management in the workplace. We delved into the terminology of stress, distinguishing between challenges and threats, stressors, and strains. A comprehensive look at the Transactional Theory of Stress provided insight into the dynamic nature of stress interactions. Participants learned about the connection between stress and productivity and understood how stress can impact work performance. Finally, we introduced and practiced active strategies for coping with stress, ensuring that employees can maintain high productivity and well-being.
Participants had a chance to equip themselves with invaluable knowledge and strategies for navigating stress in the workplace and optimizing performance.
