Work Stress Management

Better manage stress in your workplace

Contrary to popular belief Australians no longer 'take it easy'. ABS statistics^[1] show that Australians work longer and harder than ever before. The demand for increased productivity can place excessive strain on personal and professional relationships.

Left unattended, stress can result in issues such as high staff turnover, absenteeism, reduced productivity, depression, anger and increased drug and alcohol consumption. Employers need to be aware of their legal obligations to manage stress in their workplaces to a healthy level.

Converge International provides comprehensive work stress management solutions for employers and individuals seeking to manage stress in their lives. Solutions include specialist confidential counselling, psychotherapy, psychometric testing, stress auditing, relaxation training, stress management and training.
