Managers working in accountancy are the targets of a new, free stress prevention course launched by Chartered Accountants’ Benevolent Association.
Called Tackling Stress at Work, it is designed to help them identify stress problems in colleagues, minimise stress in the workplace, and also cope with any issues related to stress that they may be encountering themselves.
Lasting one day, the course has been created in response to specific requests from managers working in the profession who have already attended CABA’s existing Stress Management and Wellbeing course, which has been attended by more than 3,200 accountants across the country since it was launched in 2008.
Wendy Saunders, Head of Strategy and Development, said: “Research undertaken by CABA continually points to the fact that accountants believe that stress is the biggest issue that they face in their daily lives and popularity of our existing stress management course reflects this.
“The new course for managers is very much something that we have produced as a result of demand from professionals working in the accountancy sector. Managers at all levels who have spoken to us increasingly recognise the negative effects that stress can have on them, their colleagues and the work that they do. They are looking for ways to avoid stress and to cope when it arises. The new course is designed to tackle these issues in a practical way.”
