Overview

Most of us find ourselves working in "new" organizations, even if we've been employed by the same company for years. The change and uncertainty that characterize the work conditions in the "new" organization affect us all. As a result, stress is a common occurrence of our daily routine. To be at one's best under these conditions requires self management skills. The latest studies have shown that over 56% of performance problems are due to emotional reasons or attitude. In addition, stress is the number one factor contributing to poor health and family problems. Not surprisingly, enjoyment of the job decreases as stress levels increase. All of these conditions have created workplace conditions that Eagle Learning Center calls the Anxiety Factor. This workshop helps individuals deal with these changes and stresses. The workshop also examines key strategies that help organizations build cultures that encourage commitment and creativity.
