PEOPLE Process. The step-by-step materials in the Trainer's Manual can

The trouble with stress is that it is personal. What one person finds
stressful another person may find exhilarating. But it’s more
complicated even than that, because under another set of circumstances
or another time, the first person may now feel excited and the second
person fearful. Whilst stress itself may appear ambiguous, one thing
is certain: stress-related illness is reckoned to cost British
companies many millions a year. |

The Work Life trainer's manual: 15
ready made development activities for trainers |
GOWER |

2003 |
A4 loose-leaf |
For the organization, work-life balance raises questions about your
recruitment and employment strategies now and in the future. Do you
have the flexibility More...that will attract the kind of recruits you
need and to hold onto them once you have got them? How will they get
to work and what will they find when they get there? Whether you're
currently based in a crowded urban area or in a rural Greenfield site,
the chances are that part-time working, remote or home working may
appeal to some of your people and it may also overcome transport
problems and the need to provide expensive office space for everyone,
all of the time. The aspirations of many employees are changing too.
New generations want to enjoy the benefits of their work, financial,
social and intellectual but they want to enjoy their home life too.
The activities in this text use case studies, discussions, games,
planning activities and questionnaires to explore every aspect of
work-life balance. The manual includes a CD-ROM
of supporting PowerPoint slides and pdf
files of the photocopiable material to supplement the printed
versions |
