Tips for managing the stress of event delivery periods

With International Stress Awareness Week and National Stress Awareness Day taking place at the moment, Sledge MD, Sarah Yeats has put a piece together for EVCOM, which covers a series of tips for stress prevention and management.

She highlights that while we’re busier than ever as the industry makes its return, it’s vital for leaders to find ways to balance people and profit.

Key takeaways include:

• The importance of understanding the symptoms of stress, and learning how to identify them.
• Developing a formal wellbeing plan, which includes prevention and management practices for employees to readily access throughout the year, not only during busy pitch or project delivery periods.
• The value of having external experts host regular wellbeing focused sessions, and incorporating their teachings into our day-to-day.
• Ways to allow employees to take breaks and de-stress when times are busy, while minimising the impact on their colleagues and the tasks at hand.
