Working without stress is not the same as managing stress at work. Managing stress still results in people having to deal with stress while they work, whereas working without stress means that there is no stress for employees to deal with. The idea behind working without stress is that you look at the way you work and what you do at work and then rearrange these things and change how you approach them to remove the stress from you work.

Providing training to help people work without stress can be very rewarding, as it has a several fold effect on employees - it can help them to be more productive and efficient, while also making it so that they enjoy working a lot more, as their stress levels have been changed dramatically. Areas to look at in training can include:

• Employees need to understand stress, what it is and how stress can occur.
• Employees need to be able to recognise and understand the connections between perception, belief and stress.
• Employees need to be taught strategies to conquer stress, rather than to just work with the stress.
• Employees need to know how to strengthen their ability to respond and build their confidence.

If employees are taught these skills and abilities, then they will be on track to working without stress.
