This course is designed for Joint OH&S Committee Members and Worker Representatives to identify stressors such as job demands, job control, lack of support, management styles, bullying and lack of work and life balance that cause workplace stress and worker burnout.  We will examine how the Joint OH&S Committee can work with the employer to develop prevention strategies to reduce worker stress. 

This is not a time management or coping strategies course.

In this course participants will:

• Discuss what stress is and how it affects you.
• Learn about the contributing organizational stressors in the workplace.
• Identify the stress hazards in your own workplace.
• Discuss how stress affects our work, our families and our communities.
• Develop prevention strategies to minimize workplace stress.
