Work stress has been described as the 'wear and tear' caused by your working life. In recent times, stress at work has seen a rapidly rising trend.

This course looks at your ability to avoid work stress and to control and manage it, when it arises. Excessive and continuous work stress is very damaging, resulting in health problems, loss of productivity and pressure on working relationships.

Before you commence tutorial 1 you need to carry out an assessment of your current level of knowledge in this skill. 

This BASELINE ASSESSMENT is used as a starting point for determining how much knowledge you have gained, once you have completed the module.

A comparison will be made with your final knowledge assessment, so it is important that you fully understand what you are learning in the tutorials.

Baseline Assessment Stress Management

These seven course tutorials will take you through an audit of your stress levels and identify the sources of the stress, that you experience in your work situation. 

Once you have identified the sources of your stress, you will be able to consider alternative coping mechanisms and decide, which is most appropriate for you to adopt. 

As you work through the course, you will gain a fuller understanding of the impact that stress has on your work effectiveness and performance.

The best measure of your attainment level, however, relates to how much of the knowledge gained, has now been converted into work based actions and performance improvement.

Final Assessment Stress Management

The transfer of the knowledge you have acquired from this course is a critical stage in the development of your skills and abilities, aligned to your current and future job roles.

What you have learned needs to be applied and practiced within the context of your job from this point forward. By this means you will improve your own performance and level of competence.

It takes commitment and time but the pay back will be self-evident.

To assist you in this process, there are implementation guidelines to provide you with a series of action points for you to implement and practice as part of your day-to-day activities.

The development plans are designed to provide a framework for you to plan and track your actions, identify issues and problems and monitor your progress. Print further copies of the relevant document if you require continuation sheets.

This process should prove very effective in improving your job performance, as well as providing you with an important portfolio of evidence, on which to build your career development plans.
