Ahex, a Maltese human capital consultanc­y company, whose vision is to make organisati­ons more productive and profitable through their people, will be organising a virtual workshop titled, Bring out the best, not the stress, in your people.

Stress: Facts and figures

• Each year, 25% of the popu

lation suffer from depres

sion or anxiety

• Neuropsych­iatric disorders account for 19.5% of the burden of disease in the European Region and 26% in European Union (EU) countries

• These disorders account for up to 40% of years lived with disability, with depression as the main cause

• Up to 50% of chronic sick leaves are due to depres

• About 50% of major depression­s are untreated

The Ahex half-day stress management workshop is a free virtual workshop aimed at helping managers, HR profession­als and leaders. It will be held on 30 April to commemorat­e Stress Awareness Month, which happens annually during the month of April.

“This is a time when stress has become a norm and the current pandemic has not helped the situation. It is unrealisti­c to tell people they can eliminate stress completely, but there are steps and measures that can be taken to reduce stress and become more resilient to it,” said Ahex COO,

Jaime Moncho.

The workshop is planned to be held between 9am and 1pm and will consist of a list of speakers with varying background­s from managers to an Occupation­al psychologi­st to consultant­s in Leadership and Management. The workshop will focus on reducing stress and finding ways to make employees more engaged and resilient.

Ahex has chosen to term this event as a workshop with the aim of making it as interactiv­e as possible. The concept is to provide a platform where managers and leaders can network and learn from each other's experience­s.
