The Cost To Business
Stress is one of the greatest inhibitors of personal and professional effectiveness. According to the American Psychological Association, the American Institute of Stress and
Northwestern National Life Insurance Company, disabling stress has doubled over the last six years and 72% of American workers experience frequent stress-related physical or
mental conditions that greatly increase health care costs. Over one million people per day are absent from work due to stress-related disorders and 40% of employee turnover is
due to stress. One in three Americans seriously thought about quitting work in 1990 because of job stress, and one in three expects to "burn out" on the job in the
near future. And that is old data. Today it is even worse.
Restructuring... Downsizing... Multitasking...:
There is no escaping change these days. Our employees, however, are left shaken and unsure. With so much uncertainty surrounding them, people cannot help getting a little "frayed", and their performance deteriorates.
The strengths of the individual and organizations are then caught under this pressure of physical and emotional stress reactions. This added pressure prevents our strengths,
resilience and full potential from being accessed.
The Silva Method programs through unique methods enable you to gain access to awareness of these stress reactions.
