SAVE YOUR COMPANY MONEY BY PUTTING IN PLACE AN EFFECTIVE STRESS MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME.

There is virtually no work place where people are not stressed, even if they don't admit it. A person under stress does not perform effectively.

They are neither weak nor incompetent, in fact they may be some of your best people, but they do need help.

The aim of this programme is to provide that help, to create awareness and provide effective tools for both avoiding and dealing with stress.

Personal consultation is also available for those not wishing to take part in a group workshop and confidentiality is assured.
