The current economic climate is significantly impacting just about every individual across every industry and business sector.  Downsizing, mergers & acquisitions, and organizational restructuring, are just a few sources of the constant uncertainty and stress most employees are experiencing. Further, research findings suggest that working in this environment of stress and uncertainty has a significant impact on the psychological and physical well-being of those who are living through it.  The time to act is now. These circumstances may have an even more negative impact on those who survive than on those who are laid off.  Survivors must deal with the loss of meaningful work relationships, substantially increased workloads, loss of professional status, pay cuts, constant feeling of job insecurity, and overall uncertainty about the future.  There is a substantially heightened risk for stress-related physical illness, inability to concentrate, disengagement, declining life satisfaction, declining productivity, and even depression.  Never before has the need for self-determination, hope, optimism, and resiliency been so great, yet the challenge to maintain these adaptive factors has never been so daunting.  It is more critical than ever that we all learn how to minimize the devastating psychological and physical impact by gaining better control over the situation that is the cause.  Leveraging research and practice findings from the area of positive psychology, Theodolite can help you guide employees through this crisis by developing a deep understanding of how the way individuals react to these negative work and life situations contribute to the detrimental effects, and how individuals can significantly enhance positive behavioral and emotional factors that will improve resistance, engagement, productivity, and overall well-being.  Through Theodolite's advanced leadership training course on the topic, you will be fully equiped to assess your employees' risk factors, to understand how employees' reactions to the current environment is putting your company more at risk, and to employ techniques to develop critical resiliency.  This program is recommended to anyone who wishes to enhance resistance to the negative psychological and physical effects of these trying times, and to ensure that you and your company emerge personally and professionally stronger than ever.
