STRESS MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME
The MM&A stress management course “Transforming Stress to Success” delivers return on investment as participants are helped to understand stress and their respective responses to stress. The stress management programme assists participants to learn tools and techniques on how to effectively deal with stress and also assists individuals to develop their own sustainable approach to manage their stress.
The negative effects of suppressed stress can lead to physical, mental and emotional dysfunctions, namely:
- Poor decision-making
- Lack of concentration
- Absenteeism
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (burn-out)
- Exhaustion, lethargy and mental disorders
- Immune deficiencies, recurring infections
- Eating disorders, obesity, duodenal and stomach ulcers
- Disturbance of heart rhythm and hypertension, heart attacks
- Drug dependency, alcoholism and depression
- Insomnia, eczema and psoriasis
The Programme has offered measurable results to various organisations. Some of the proven positive benefits of the stress management programme include the following improvements:
- Higher productivity and efficiency
- Better attendance, alertness and increased concentration (focus on work)
- Increased levels of motivation, job satisfaction, innovation and creativity
- Quicker achievement of set goals and targets
- Improved loyalty and relations with management
- Promotes verbal communication, lowers depression and anxiety
- Measurable decrease in sick-leave days, less absence due to headaches, migraines, colds & flu

EMPLOYEE WELLNESS
MM&A Employee Wellness Programme meets a strategic truth: healthy employees cost less, have less absenteeism, medical expenses, worker’s compensation and disability claims; and improved satisfaction. Identifying, managing and educating around good health translates into good business ROI!
“Our team was fragmented and slightly dysfunctional as I think most teams are, but we managed to get the job done. Sort of. Marichen came and opened our eyes to the magic of actually understanding one another and the joys of communicating effectively. We were going to do amazing things. Then our leader resigned! And a team member left. And a virus landed! Marichen stepped in to help us to survive ourselves and each other in this chaos. She gave us the confidence to be vulnerable towards one another, to trust each other and to put the team objectives before our own individual agendas. Suddenly we didn’t have to dodge the next bus we were going to be thrown under, but rather to see how we could support and contribute. The process of dealing with each person’s individual baggage and then to separately work with the team dynamic works very well. I don’t think there’s another way to make it work. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Marichen’s services to any company that believes in success through teamwork and effective communication.”
