The six-step BuildResilience programme empowers participants to take control and focus on the sources of stress in their life. With a focus on behaviours rather than situations, the personalised programme helps to increase resilience to pressure and provides the tools to fight the negative effects of stress.

The BuildResilience programme can help your employees:

• Take control of stressful situations
• Manage their time more effectively
• Communicate effectively when they are stressed

The prevalence of stress

• An estimated 442,000 individuals in Britain were found to believe that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them physically ill.¹

Stress related absence

• Work-related stress was the largest contributor to overall annual absence days in 2007.²
• On average people experiencing stress, anxiety or depression take an estimated 30.6 days off a year, equating to an annual loss of 0.56 days per worker.¹

Your bottom line

• Stress related absence can cost employers £3.7 billion every year.³

Engagement

• Individuals engage more with personalised online programmes more than non-tailored programmes.⁴
