WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

  The effects of poorly managed stress (as well as headaches) are the leading causes of employee absenteeism and presenteeism.  Presenteeism is when an employee is physically present, but is mentally, emotionally, and/or productively absent. This is often due to a physical condition they are suffering with, or due to the unwanted side effects of a medication that has been prescribed as a form of treatment. 

  These problems have become so immense, they are no longer merely a Human Resources issue… but rather a “C-Suite” level financial issue.  Cornell University published a study in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine showing that productivity losses and total costs associated with presenteeism were most pronounced in patients with migraine/headache (followed by allergies and arthritis).

This workshop is designed to arm your employees with the info and strategies necessary to optimize their Stress Tolerance (the ability to meet and overcome stressors).  Time permitting we'll also teach “the anatomy of a headache”… What the most common and the most often overlooked causes of headache are and how to most effectively mitigate such. 

  For those who suffer with poorly managed Stress and/or frequent headache, this workshop gives hope and direction to do all that is possible to build a far-greater tolerance to stress while reducing their risk of becoming a statistic.  

  This can be a lunch & learn with food provided, or set up as a separate workshop.
