About the Book and Topic:
Stress in the workplace is a highly important topic that has never been more fundamental to how we operate, survive and enjoy working in the modern business environment. It is a topic that is surrounded by myth, deceit and ignorance, and yet affects almost of all us on an increasingly regular basis. Conceptually sound but very practical, this book provides a highly useful step-by-step approach to identification, analysis, and implementation of stress management techniques .
Will do very well as a CBI book and benefit from the direct-selling opportunities of the series. Extremely practical with a step-by-step approach and a minimum of theory. Since the project was initially discussed the authors’ ideas have developed significantly – for example they have developed the range of techniques they can provide for cost-effective intervention. Their increasingly international client base (US, Europe and Australia) ensures a global perspective and the book includes a section on new techniques for developing and running global standardised stress surveys for multinational organisations.
· A practical, step-by-step guide which is built around providing a stress audit programme template which any manager in any organization can take away and use immediately. · The programme included in this book formed the backbone of a Channel 4 documentary on workplace stress, which featured both authors conducting a stress audit at a UK public sector office. · The book will be global in scope, and include case examples drawn from the authors’ first-hand experience of working with international clients in the US, Europe and Australia.
