Anxiety at Work - A New Training Course

Just prior to Christmas, we added a brand new course to our website. It may well have slipped under your radar as, if you've been as busy as the Trainer Bubble team, there's not been a chance to gather breath! Therefore, we thought we'd take the opportunity to let you know all about it...

In this course we take a good look at anxiety. As we progress, the course clarifies what anxiety is, what it is caused by and why it is so important for us to know about it in the workplace.

Underpinning our course is a crucial message – making anxiety normal.

The course takes a non-clinical approach – there is no medical or scientific element to this course; it takes a common sense, practical and straightforward stand.

This course is suitable for anyone at work. It has been designed to assist us all with achieving an understanding of what anxiety is and how it might be handled whether -as a sufferer, or as the manager or colleague of a sufferer.

When you reach the end of this course your participants will:

· Know what anxiety is and what it isn’t
· Be able to discuss the impact of anxiety on colleagues, on productivity and working life
· Know the role of the manager, employer and colleague of an anxious person – and the role of the sufferer
· Be able to draw sensible comparisons between anxiety and physical illnesses

Produce a plan to define the action they will take to address the stigma attached to anxiety with a view to improving business performance.


The course was designed by one of our new designers, Sue Buck, and is an interesting addition to our portfolio. We look forward to more of Sue's work in the future as, if this course is anything to go by, we can expect great things.
