Manager Session

Stress Management Training for Managers

Help your managers understand workplace stress, spot the warning signs in their teams, and build the practical skills to intervene early — before pressure becomes a crisis.

Why This Matters

Workplace stress is the leading cause of absence — and managers are both cause and cure

Research consistently shows that the relationship with a line manager is one of the biggest drivers of employee stress. With the right training, managers can reduce that pressure significantly rather than compound it.

What You’ll Learn

Practical tools to manage stress — in your team and yourself

  • Understand the difference between manageable pressure and harmful stress — and why that distinction matters
  • Identify the most common workplace stress triggers and the role that management style plays in creating or relieving them
  • Recognise the early warning signs of stress in individuals — including the behavioural and physical changes that often go unnoticed
  • Hold effective, non-escalating conversations with team members who appear to be struggling
  • Know when and how to implement reasonable adjustments, and when to refer to occupational health or EAP
  • Develop sustainable practices to manage your own stress as a leader, protecting your own wellbeing alongside your team’s
