Ultimate Stress Show, The

Synopsis

A video-based package explaining the nature of stress, how it differs from pressure, and how stress affects people.
Pressure is positive and drives us towards our goals. However when the amount of pressure we are experiencing rises above what we believe we can cope with it can easily turn to stress which represents a very large financial cost to organisations in terms of time off work and an equally large personal cost to individuals in the form of physical and behavioural symptoms.
This video is about limiting the potential stressors at work that can lead to damaging stress. Admitting to and dealing with stress isn’t a weakness it’s a positive action that can reap huge personal and organisational rewards.
The programme shows how our own behaviour can be stressful to ourselves and others, and how changes to that behaviour can lead to a more stress-free working environment. The video shows a host of stressed characters in various scenes being guided by a Guardian Angel through an Eight Point Plan: get your priorities right;consider needs & workloads; listen to people; communicate clearly; be positive; learn to say ‘no’; earn respect & trust; be flexible.
