When I am asked to conduct #stressmanagement workshops, it's always about getting participants to deal with #stress, rather than addressing the #rootcauses of the stress in the system. It is a strange approach that would not provide effective long-lasting results because while #eustress can aid performance, #distress would hamper it.
Most people don't realize the role of emotional intelligence in managing stress, which is why I include it in my workshop design. Also, the irony is that a leader, manager or process could actually be causing the stress in the first place.
Here's an interesting article on why attempting to build #resilience in the organization may promote #toxic behaviours and enhance the toxicity in the #organizationculture, and increasing the stress of all employees, causing burnout and other issues.
From the article - "By solely relying on resilience training, HR leaders risk inadvertently perpetuating a cycle of #burnout, masking the need for true cultural change"
