National Stress Awareness Day
Today, Wednesday 2 November, is National Stress Awareness Day. Stress levels have reportedly doubled in four years and so this issue is one to be taken very seriously.
National Stress Awareness Day is designed to get people talking about stress and how best to prevent and deal with it. Here is a link to ten “Stress Busting Tips”. It is important that employers deal with the issue of stress both appropriately and sensitively.
On a lighter note, I liked the International Stress Management Association UK’s link to stress relief games such as this one, involving popping balloons. Although watch it doesn't lead to a breach of your I.T. policy if you do feel the need for some stress relief! And, if you are in open plan turn the volume down first... Life is never simple is it!?
