Control over one’s work has a strong impact on perceived stress, affecting both an individual’s self esteem, as well as their ability to achieve work goals. (Cost of Workplace Stress in Australia, August 2008, Medibank Private) Concern over Management decisions Job security Workload Lead to Increased Pressure Stress Lead to Issues in Trust Communication Absenteeism & Presenteeism Visually the representation looks solid, with a balance between top and bottom. But notice that the foundation is absenteeism and presenteeism. Presenteeism is the cost of decreased productivity in stressed employees who are, indeed, showing up at work. *What is your foundation? *Would your employees agree? Awareness + Breath = Change Employees can rarely alter the actual cause of the external stressors. But they can alter their response. In my Work Events, I introduce the idea of awareness of the physical and emotional signs of increased stress or stimulation. Participants then learn about breath, a tool that breaks the cycle of increased stimulation and response. Awareness plus breath provides an opportunity for a new personal response.

Breathing Exercises for Stress Reduction. He engaged the whole group in exploring the causes of our stress, what happens to us when we are stressed, and coached us on using mindful breathing techniques to reduce stress.  He was able to get his message across, "when the going gets tough, remember your breath- inhale...exhale...ahhhh." *Greg Freitag, Senior Associate - Exercise Physiologist, WellDoc Inc.
