PSYCHOSOCIAL WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Stress management courses
The goal is not a life without stress. The goal is to recognise your own patterns early enough to do something about them.
We give you more energy and drive through a better understanding of your own resources, and practical exercises you can use in the middle of your working day. We have worked with this for over 40 years, with managers, professionals and entire departments.
- Courses for groups
- Individual follow-up
- Exercises you can do at work
HOW THE COURSE IS STRUCTURED
Recognise it, act on it, sustain it
01 / RECOGNISE IT
Your own patterns
How to measure stress, and how to spot your own stress patterns before they take over.
02 / ACT ON IT
Practical techniques
Setting boundaries, taking regular breaks, mindfulness training and simple office yoga. Exercises that need no equipment.
03 / SUSTAIN IT
Over time
What gives you energy and what drains you, and how to get more of the former.
WHAT WE COVER
From stress to mastery
The content is adapted to the group, but these are the topics we always cover.
Understanding stress
Understanding stress
Stress is not harmful in itself. The body is designed for it. It is prolonged stress without breaks that does the damage, and the difference is easier to spot than people think.
PACE
Effective, not busy
Two different things that get confused all the time. The busy person often gets less done than the effective one, and uses more energy doing it.
BOUNDARIES
Saying no and making it stick
How to say no without becoming the difficult one at work. It is more about how and when than about being tough.
BREAKS
The rhythm your body needs
Which breaks actually work, and why lunch in front of the screen doesn’t count as one.
EXERCISES
Mindfulness training and meditation
Practical exercises, including simple office yoga, that can be done at the workplace without equipment and without anyone needing to change clothes.
FLOW
The flow zone
What it takes to get there, and what knocks you out of it. Most people know more about the latter than the former.

- A focus on the organisation, not just the individual
The problem
Sometimes it’s not the employee who needs to breathe more deeply
Unclear expectations, excessive workloads and a lack of influence create stress systematically. You can’t breathe it away, and a course alone won’t solve it.
That is why we always take a look at organisation and leadership as well. If you want to look into this more closely, we are happy to measure it with ENGIN.
WE FIND THE ANSWER
Is it the person or the organisation?
Five questions that tell one from the other:
- Does it affect one person, or the whole department?
- Do people know what is expected of them?
- Do they have influence over their own working day?
- Is the workload actually manageable?
- Has it changed since a reorganisation?
Frequently asked questions
What participants and managers ask
No. We run courses on coping and having more energy in your working day. If you are on sick leave or have health problems you need help with, your GP or occupational health service is the right place to start.
Yes. Most of our courses are held at the client’s own workplace, adapted to the department and its situation.
No. The exercises are done individually, and nobody is asked to share anything they don’t want to. We make that clear at the start.
Yes, and managers often have two reasons for coming: their own stress, and their responsibility for others. We cover both.
