Employees Learn to Redefine Stress in Just 60-Minutes

There is no question that stress is the number one cause of disability, and employers end up paying billions of dollars annually on lost productivity and healthcare costs.

According to a study performed by the American Institute of Stress, job stress and related problems cost companies an estimated $300 billion or more a year, an average of $7,500 per worker. This leads to more than half of the 550 million workdays lost annually.

The fact is there is no getting away from stress. Some would say that there are no stressful events, only stressful responses, and the trick is to redefine stress. A new 60-minute workshop offered by The Back Rub Company allows employees to just that. In “Redefining Stress” employees learn ways to make stress work to their advantage! Also incorporated in the workshop are relaxations tips that provide participants with practical and effective tools to reduce and manage stress.
