Description: MARCOM's "Workplace Stress" Videotape Program helps employees identify potentially stressful situations and learn how to cope with them. In the fast-paced world that we live in, we are always encountering situations that can be stressful. Many of these occur at work. Yet stress, and its effects on our ability to do our jobs, is a subject that is often overlooked. The Videotape includes information on situations causing stress, positive versus negative stress, recognizing symptoms of stress, effects of stress on the mind and body, eliminating "stress factors", stress-relieving exercises, and more. The Videotape Program comes with a comprehensive Leader's Guide, reproducible Scheduling & Attendance Form, Employee Quiz, Training Certificate and Training Log.
Excerpt: Stress, it’s a hazard all of us face. It creeps into our
lives when it’s time to pay the bills or when we can’t find the right tool for
the job. It comes in the form of a memo from the boss, or a set of bad spark
plugs. Even good things can lead to stress. New parents find that out in a
hurry. They discover the joy of 3 AM
feedings, and diaper duty. Stress comes for everyone. You know the feeling.
Your muscles tense up as a rush of adrenaline floods through your body. You
start to sweat. Your heart beats like a bass drum. Your stomach tightens as
your blood pressure rises. Now, during what we call positive stress these
changes are merely temporary. Once the crisis has passed our body resets itself
to normal, getting ready for the next challenge. Look, your body’s physical
changes are basically a throw back to the old cave man days when we had to
outrun bears and chase down our food. Getting excited is an old survival
instinct. Positive stress is necessary to our daily living. It helps us buckle
down and see things through. Negative stress is not so healthy.
