Training Course: Time & Stress Management for Managers – Sharm El-Sheikh (Egypt), 14–18 Feb 2027

Introduction

In the fast-paced world of life and business, it is becoming increasingly important to reduce stress and operate with heightened sensory awareness. Most people deny that they are stressed or influenced by internal or external factors. However, the most important resource you have is not money or material things – it is TIME. You cannot save time, you cannot stop it, and it will eventually run out. So, why not learn how to use it effectively? As the cost of stress to employers continues to rise, organizations must recognize stress in their employees and train management to address it productively. Recent surveys show that 1 in 5 people report their work to be very or extremely stressful, citing the nature of the work, relationships at work, or their employer as the cause.
