Session 6 - Managing Workplace Stress

Facilitated by Dr. Nasreen Khatri [bio], PFC

We face stress in all aspects of life – work / life balance, aging parents, changing roles in a family. Have you ever stopped to think...What is stress? And why is it important to understand it?

In this session we will learn to identify what is a good stress level vs too much stress? How does it impact our lives and work?

We will learn how a manager can identify stress and how do they approach an employee. What questions can they ask and what they can do with the answers.
