Helping People Manage Personal and Work Stress
Today's workplace demands high performance of its employees, but that no longer means putting work ahead of everything else. Organizations formerly disregarded the need to balance life outside of work and accepted the fact that productivity suffered as a result. Today's more dynamic, team-oriented organizations require flexible, creative, sustainable performance, the kind that comes with people who know how to balance the urgent demands of work life and personal life without sacrificing either.

Discover the Power of Relationships
Other stress management approaches focus primarily on using personal coping resources such as exercise, nutrition, and building self-esteem to deal with stress. The Coping & Stress Profile focuses on relationship coping resources as the most effective and consistent response to stressors identified in all four life areas.

Learn Four Key Coping Resources
Four key relationship coping resources are:

• Problem-Solving – the ability to deal directly with, not avoid, the problems you face and make positive changes to resolve them
• Communication – the ability to honestly share thoughts and feelings with others to promote mutual understanding
• Closeness – a comfort level with others and the ability to connect with people in your environment
• Flexibility – an openness and ability to respond to change

The Coping & Stress Profile helps people in organizations:

• discover stress issues in each life area and capitalize on coping strengths to manage stress
