Stress Management Competencies Roadshow Cardiff

This free* event, hosted by British Gas at their Cardiff training facility, is one of a number of Roadshows organised across the UK to raise awareness of 'Stress Management Competencies'.

Staff registering from British Gas / Centrica (who are sponsoring this event) should use the dedicated ticket type provided. For all other bookings, please use the 'Stress Management Competencies Roadshow Cardiff' ticket-type - there is maximum of 2 tickets allowed per organisation. This is because of high demand for places and to allow the maximum number of organisations to benefit from attendance.

Stress Management Competencies are combinations of skills and behaviours that line managers need to prevent and reduce stress at work. The event is suitable for HR, Health & Safety, Occupational Health, Staff/Organisational Development, and any managers with an interest in staff well-being and work-related stress issues.

A four-year research programme sponsored by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), CIPD and Investors in People (IIP) led recently to the development of a Management Competency Framework for Preventing and Reducing Stress. The Roadshows raise awareness of this Framework and introduce the associated tools and interventions for up-skilling of line managers. The applications, both of the tools/interventions and of the behaviours themselves, are discussed.

The Roadshows are being organised and presented by Alan Bradshaw, a stress management expert who specialises in the assessment and management of stress risks at work. A full list of all Stress Management Competencies Roadshows and other training events in the UK can be found on Alan Bradshaw's eventbrite page http://alanbradshaw.eventbrite.com/
