Not all pressure at work is bad — a healthy dose keeps people sharp and focused. The trouble starts when normal workload tips into overload, and teams don't have the tools to tell the difference or pull back. That's the gap this Workplace Stress Management course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy is designed to close, for both individual employees and the supervisors responsible for their teams.

Participants build genuine self-awareness of how they personally react under pressure, then translate that awareness into a workable personal plan — one that keeps flexibility and continuity in place even when conditions get difficult, instead of reacting to stress only after it has already taken a toll.

• Understand how to support and look after teams during stressful periods.
