Managing Workplace Stress
The Managing Workplace Stress course provides training on recognizing, managing, and reducing stress in the workplace. It covers stress identification, coping strategies, and creating a supportive work environment, equipping managers and employees with tools to improve mental well-being and productivity.
What is the Managing Workplace Stress?
The Managing Workplace Stress course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals addresses the psychosocial hazards that cause workplace stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression — conditions that affect worker health, safety performance, productivity, and retention. Workplace stress is not a personal weakness; it is an organisational hazard caused by excessive demands, insufficient control, inadequate support, poor relationships, role ambiguity, and poorly managed change. Like any other workplace hazard, stress can be systematically identified, assessed, and controlled through organisational interventions. The curriculum covers the six primary psychosocial hazard categories (demands, control, support, relationships, role, change), stress physiology and health effects, psychosocial risk assessment methodology, organisational-level interventions (job design, workload management, management training, communication, participation), individual-level support (EAP, resilience, work-life balance), the relationship between stress and safety performance (stressed workers make more errors), burnout recognition and prevention, legal and regulatory considerations, and the workplace wellbeing programme that integrates stress management into the safety management system. All training is delivered 100% online through the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS.
