'Show Stress Who's Boss!' from Carole Spiers

A timely new book by leading stress expert reveals a no-nonsense approach to managing stress!

Just as work stress has been officially identified as the biggest cause of absenteeism, a topic new book sheds new light on the urgent problem of dealing with stress in the workplace.

BBC Guest-Broadcaster and Motivational Speaker, Carole Spiers tackles these important issues with the authority of a leading expert of stress reduction in her new book ‘Show Stress Who’s Boss!’, the subject of a major launch this week, as widespread fear of redundancy has been echoed in the findings of the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development that stress is the No.1 reasons for absence at work.

Carole says, “Stress is increasingly weighing heavily on managers as they strive to maintain turnover by retaining talent and building resilient teams. Stress can damage the employee and the employer alike. As a threat to business performance, it needs to be identified early and managed efficiently. Ignoring excess work pressure will result in poor talent retention and low morale.”

This new book is targeted at a wide audience – from an individual who needs to effectively manage their own personal stress, to a manager who has to deal quickly with any stress-related problems in the workplace.

'Show Stress Who's Boss!' is due to be launched on 20th October 2011 at the Institute of Sales and Marketing Management Conference at the Ricoh Centre in Coventry.

Available on Amazon Kindle and other ebook formats. 261 pages Fully illustrated.
