  Happiness and Stress: Their Impact on People “At Work”

  Unfortunately, stress is the greatest motivation and sign of hard work in the workplace today. Happiness is seen as a byproduct or consequence of success.

  In this short session we will discuss both happiness and stress and see if those two accepted truths are in fact true.

   Participants will:

  • Understand what happiness is in the workplace.
  • Learn way we experience stress and happiness and how it affects us physically.
  • Identify times they may have allowed stress to overtake them and identify why it happened.
  • Identify ways to handle that stress differently in the future.
  • Discover how to insert happiness into your workday.
  • Understand the impact of a happy and engaged employee on your business.
  • Be encouraged to make a difference wherever they may be.
