iprovision wellbeing workshop rolled out nationally

A wellbeing seminar successfully piloted in London by the CIPR benevolent fund iprovision will be staged across the UK to help PR professionals manage stress in the workplace and achieve a better work-life balance.

The highly acclaimed workshop - 'Positive Psychology:increase your resilience and performance at work' - will be hosted by the CIPR North East group in Newcastle on September 1, before being held by other CIPR groups across the UK.

The interactive two-hour workshop will be delivered by business psychologists and trainers Viv and Gill Thackray, from the leading consultancy Positive Change Guru. The pair will demonstrate how PR professionals can manage stress to increase resilience and wellbeing.

For the last two years stress has been a major factor in the CIPR State of the Profession research, with the research revealing more than half (51%) of managers feel ‘extremely stressed’ or ‘very stressed’ in their roles.

We believe that by giving people the tools to handle some of the stresses and strains of what for most of us is an exciting, fast-paced career, we can help them to cope with whatever life throws at them, and become more resilient.

From an employer point of view, reducing stress levels for what is the key resource of their business – and helping colleagues to achieve a better work-life balance – makes for a happier, healthier and more productive office environment.
