- STRESS WORKSHOP FOR MANAGERS & LEADERS -

Do you notice an increase in stress within your team or organization? And do you want to ensure that the managers & leaders in your organization can better anticipate and manage it, to prevent absenteeism, turnover, and reduced performance?

That can be achieved with this interactive on-site workshop, where I specifically explain to leaders what stress is, why it's crucial for leaders to actively address their stress, how they can recognize stress in their team, and what they can do to reduce stress in the workplace.

​

With over 25 years of experience as a leader in large (corporate) organizations, combined with my expertise as a stress coach, I am the right person to engage in this conversation with today's and tomorrow's leaders!

Do you recognize this? 

  • In the employee satisfaction survey, the topic of 'perceived workload' scores relatively poorly.

  • People complain because the workload is too high. You often hear about people working in the evenings and on weekends, and they also seem preoccupied with work in their minds at home, which concerns you about its effects on them.

  • You notice that the increasing tension in the organization has a negative impact on the overall atmosphere. People are quicker to get irritated and have a shorter fuse.

  • The costs of stress-related absenteeism are high, also because people are often unavailable for long periods. This costs the organization a lot of money, and finding replacements is difficult, increasing the pressure on the remaining employees.

  • You realize that stress prevention starts with the leaders in your organization, so you would like to provide leaders with more insights and tools to address this.

What if -even more- people start falling out due to work related stress? Or if the atmosphere deteriorates and people's motivation decreases? Or if people leave for another organization? This will only make the situation more concerning and create a downward spiral.

What would it be like if

  • The leaders in your organization could better anticipate stress in their team?

  • So that:

    • The people in your organization could handle the current workload in a more relaxed manner?

    • You have a team of satisfied employees? Who indicate having a good work-life balance and show up to work motivated and well-rested every day?

    • There is a pleasant atmosphere where people feel comfortable and interact with each other respectfully, even in stressful situations.

    • The absenteeism caused by work-related stress would decrease?

That’s possible!
With this interactive workshop, leaders will learn what stress is and its impact, why it’s crucial for leaders to actively manage their own stress, how to recognize stress in their team, and what they can do to reduce stress in the workplace.

This workshop lasts approximately 4 hours and is for a maximum of 10 people. I will get to your office to conduct the workshop. It consists of a theoretical component, explaining the physiological and mental aspects of stress. Additionally, it includes exercises where leaders reflect on their own stress and that of their team. Furthermore, we explore potential improvements.

What are the results of this workshop?

At the end of this workshop:

  • Leaders understand:

    • Why and how their body and brain react to stressful situations and the long-term impact thereof, enabling them to recognize the necessity of addressing stress.

    • The physical signs of (chronic) stress and how to better detect stress in themselves and their team.

    • The influence of their own stress on the stress levels within their team.

    • Which tools they can use to reduce their own stress.

  • A common language is developed to address stress issues, making stress more discussable in the future.

  • There is a better understanding of the stress within their own team.

  • Leaders can take action with potential improvements to alleviate their own stress and the stress within their team, thereby reducing work-related stress and absenteeism, and improving performance.

This is what others say about the workshops

I highly recommend working with Tessa! I recently had the pleasure of working with her on the Leadership Trajectory for Heineken that I designed together with Lianne Wilkes Stefan Bouman and Murk Spits. Tessa is very knowledgeable, passionate and dedicated to help clients understand stress management better. After all the knowledge I personally already had about the topic I definitely learned new very pragmatic things.

Next to being a professional of high integrity, Tessa is a beautiful human being who mixes her dedication to the topic with an infectious laugh.
If you’re in doubt about working with her, just schedule that call and have your questions answered.

Better stress management can have such a huge ripple effect!
