It’s no secret: Workplace stress levels have gone through the roof this year, as many employees have watched their workloads increase, their morale decrease, and their pay and benefits (and job security) decline in the process.
What gets lost, unfortunately, is the terrible impact of these stresses on HR professionals and employers themselves. According to recent national surveys of HR directors:
- More than half said they’ve thought about changing careers–or they’ve already begun looking for non-HR jobs–as a result of conducting layoffs and overseeing cutbacks this year.
- A majority also reported they’re having more trouble sleeping now and struggling with more anxiety and depression than usual.
- Two in three are even worried about losing their own HR jobs in the near future.
- And one in four admitted they’re relying more heavily on smoking, alcohol, and other substances to cope with the stress.
Learn how to survive in this brave new world of HR stress during our 90-minute webinar on December 15, when our expert speaker will share:
- How to define and recognize the most common symptoms of stress facing HR managers and employers
- Best practices for managing and reducing these stressors to put your work life back in balance
- The steps you can take right now to reprogram yourself and stay in control
- The key factors of diet, exercise, and medicine in controlling stress levels for HR professionals
- How to isolate stress triggers and neutralize them–even if your workplace is in perpetual crisis mode
- How to avoid job burnout (before it chases you out of the HR department!)
- Proven strategies for changing the negative ways you respond to workplace stress
