Stress is inevitable and essential to push individuals and organizations to grow, develop, perform and succeed. This program recognizes that work life is stressful and at times risky. The challenge and opportunity in stressful and changing times is to learn more about ourselves and how we may better respond to a changed world of work and organizational life.
