Stress Management & Resilience

Manage the stress in your team

For whom?

This session is for you and your team if you would like an understanding and actions to manage your and your team’s stress and well-being levels. Stress, what exactly is it? Is it a negative thing or a positive thing? What is your sentiment towards it? And: how does this work for you and your teammates? Do you know from each other when someone is experiencing stress and what its impact is? And do you know what you can do to influence your own stress level? And that of your colleagues?

Learning objectives

An understanding of what stress is and how it arises

An understanding of your stress factors, stress symptoms, stress curve and strategies

Sharing the above with each other in the team for a healthy/healthier pressure of work

Approach

Preparation

In preparation, you select the stress factors and stress symptoms you recognise in yourself. You will be given an overview of stress factors and symptoms to choose from.

 

The session

During the session, we reflect on what stress actually is and what the sentiment is in your team around stress. What types of stress are there? You will gain an understanding of how stress is produced in our bodies. By far the greatest emphasis during the session is on providing an understanding of the stress curve of you and your colleagues, the impact of everyone’s stress factors, the symptoms everyone experiences (positive and negative) and the actions you can take to manage your stress levels. We reflect on what does and does not work to restore the stress level to the desired level. You will also gain an understanding of the sources that can help you build resilience. You and your colleagues share all this with each other. In the process, the team members coordinate how to deal with this, with the aim of achieving a healthier balance in the team.

 

Securing

You take the agreements made, decisions taken and actions drawn up to achieve effective stress management to your work meetings for securing or to one of the other consultation structures.
