3rd Annual Stress at Work Summit

We are pleased to announce the date and venue for the third annual Stress at Work Summit:

What: 3rd Annual Stress at Work Summit
Theme: Professional Stress Management for a Healthier Workplace
When: Tuesday 12th September 2006
Where: The Law Society’s Hall, London, WC2

Theme for 2006 - Pro-Active Management Techniques:
Nearly two years since the launch of the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) Stress Management Standards, a new look at pro-active management techniques for handling pressure and encouraging a better workplace atmosphere is needed. This conference is unique in taking a preventative view of tackling stress, combating the damage it causes to organisations and focussing on real management solutions.

Pro-active stress prevention requires both the input of practical training in stress management and detailed knowledge of your legal and ethical position relative to it. This stimulating programme brings together an unprecedented range of top talent across stress counselling and consultancy, occupational medicine and psychology, legal practice and government health policy planning.

Interactive & Stimulating Conference Format:
This conference starts where routine lectures leave off. Delegates will be equipped for active prevention of absenteeism, bullying and other stress-related issues that are costing industry more every year. With highly interactive sessions in varied and creative formats, delegates will hone skills of immediate cash-value to their organisations.

Work-Shop Sessions:
In addition to presentations by key specialists, a series of associated workshops and panels will provide delegates with the opportunity to learn about stress prevention through better management practice, drawing upon the experience of others while exploring their own management skills. To encourage maximum delegate participation and interaction, these workshops will not take the form of presentations, but will be in a round-table discussion format, with debate orchestrated by the workshop facilitator:

Delegates can choose from three interactive workshop discussions - please specify when booking.

A) Taking the Lid off Workplace Bullying - Carole Spiers, BBC broadcaster, a Vice President of the International Stress Management Association (UK) and President of the Professional Speakers Association.

B) Designing and Implementing a Stress Management Policy - Sue Bourne CMIPD; MISMA; Dip SMT, HR Director at Forum Bioscience and Head of Consultancy at Work Stress Management

C) The Role of EAPs in Managing Workplace Stress - Tim Cuthell, Consultancy and Sales Director, Employee Advisory Resource, Accor Services.
