Introduction to POD Stress Management Packages

Traditionally, Stress Management Assessment and Training has been expensive and therefore delivered only to senior executives or those who have already suffered from Stress. POD has developed its unique on line assessment so as to directly challenge this and provide a quality product at a price that makes it available to all. For just £12 per user per year everyone can now benefit from this online assessment that provides a wealth of useful information to the organisation as well as individual reports, advice and an ongoing progress charts to the user. With a range of packages available POD has the answer to all of your Stress Management and Training needs at an affordable price.

The Performance on Demand Stress Management product portfolio consists of five unique packages. At the heart of each package sits the online SMA (stress management assessment). The SMA consists of a set of validated questions which the user answers, online, over the course of around 20 minutes. The purpose of the SMA is to establish the user's potential to function (at work, at home or in a social context) at their optimum level and identify factors which might be preventing them from doing so. For example, the SMA will accurately report on the user's:

• Resilience
• Response to stress
• Anxiety
• Ability to relax/sleep
• Self-esteem
• Control
• Self-management, and so on.

From a group/corporate perspective the results are reported via the live, online, password protected Data Management area. This valuable information quickly highlights those users that may require additional training or assistance and importantly, in which area. This key function also ensures that the programme is managed within a given budget.

From a user's perspective, the SMA, on completion, immediately reports back providing them their 'result,' how they have performed in comparison to previous completions and providing bespoke hints and tips on how to improve in their worst performing areas. The report highlights the areas of the user's performance that may be being adversely affected and explain the ways in which these elements can impact on those areas.

Each user is invited to re-do their SMA regularly over a 12 month period so they can easily see (through the reporting functions) how their progress towards improved performance is going.

At the same time, the 'designated' group/company administrator has full, real-time management information to help them track the performance of the user(s), wherefrom they are in a position to decide about what, if any further interventions are required.

All of the POD Stress management packages provide regular assessment, bespoke advice to each user and the full, live Data Management and reporting suite to designated administrators.

Packages 2 through 5 also include our regular e-learner modules which are delivered bespoke to each user depending upon their 'results' when completing the SMA.

The e-learner consists of the following modules, all of which are accessed on-line:

• Tiredness
• Anxiety
• Anger
• Relaxed
• Positive engagement
• Employee engagement
• Mental clarity & decisiveness
• Self management
• Control
• Self esteem

Packages 3 through 5 also include the award winning and highly sophisticated emWave 2; an electronic and portable means by which users can learn to monitor their own stress levels and manage their resiliency and performance.

Package 4 adds a fully interactive ½ day workshop, which explores the causes of, and the human body's responses to, stress from a neuro-scientific perspective and are available for up to 20 participants at one time.

These workshops explain in very simple terms the 'mechanics' of stress (cortizol, DHEA, the impact of the brain on the performance of the body and vice versa) and provide clear, concise techniques that participants can use to both monitor and manage the effects of stress on their overall health and well-being and their performance potential.

Package 5 replaces the workshop with two private 1:1 coaching sessions
