Corporate Stress Management

---

The greatest challenge the world faces is the prevention and control of lifestyle diseases including diabetes, cancer, coronary artery disease, hypertension and stroke. The promotion of health wellness is the challenge facing all stakeholders, including individuals, companies, health funders and governments. This industry is growing exponentially and more people see the opportunities related to health wellness. This program is relatively easy to implement and has enormous benefits to all stakeholders. This includes burnout. 

The program  is geared to a specific group of people called Time Urgent individuals.  They present as either unconventional perfectionists or not.  An unconventional perfectionist is an individual who might procrastinate, have high expectations of themselves or others, and might find it difficult to delegate . Our research shows that this will be at least 80% of intellectual capital. These people are competent and appear satisfied with at their jobs but are at high risk for developing dread diseases. They are also at high risk for developing the common ailments that lead to absenteeism. They also readily move to other companies due to their high achieving nature. 90% of these individuals have poor diets and nutrition. They also have a high number of chronic stress related symptoms (based on our online assessment of 4000 individuals).  

The program is designed to be unobtrusive and time efficient.  TUPS (Unhook Stress) uses comprehensive and exhaustive fields of psychology and skill sets to improve mindfulness in a concrete, structured manner.

We have consistently shown that the value added to the individual includes the following:

• Statistically significant decreased stress related symptoms and sense of well-being leading to increased performance, effectiveness and customer relationships both internal and external.
• Reduced time off work.
• Improved home life, including reduced divorce rates.
• Less likely to require temporary boarding from work.
• Decreased medical spend both medication and doctor visits. 
• Increased coping skills.
• Less alcohol intake, smoking and need for dependency producing drugs

The value added to the organization:

1. Taking care of a healthy knowledge based work force.

2. A healthy knowledge based work force.

3.  Increased productivity.

4.  Increased effectiveness, not only efficiency.

5.  Retention of knowledge workers.

6.  Improved work relationships.

7.  Barrier to industrial claims for psychology damage.

8.  Protection of Intellectual and Human Capital

9.  Measurable and Quantifiable.

10.  Awareness and guidance toward wellness for stress related illnesses. 

11.  Ongoing stress tests and follow up program.

12.  Cost- effective.

There is no doubt that the TUPS online course significantly reduces symptoms, anxiety and depression scores reduced dramatically, evidenced by the post course questionnaires. This transcribes to a massive life and longevity benefit to the patient.  We have also reviewed publications that support the role of stress as a major cause of non-communicable and communicable diseases

Burnout has been recognised by the World Health Organization as a chronic condition, and cases have been increasing at an alarming rate over recent years. For a long time, burnout was a term used casually to describe feeling physically and emotionally run down. It was often dismissed as modern jargon — something vague, subjective, or transient.

That has now changed.

Burnout has been formally included in the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases, making it a globally recognised medical condition. It is defined as chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, and is characterised by persistent energy depletion, increased mental distance from one’s work, feelings of negativity or cynicism related to one’s job, and reduced professional efficacy.

This classification matters. Burnout is not a temporary state, nor is it limited to people working in obviously high-stress environments. For many, it has become a baseline — a background condition rather than an acute episode. It is not something we dip into and recover from; it becomes the backdrop to daily life. Our base temperature. Our background noise. The way things are. The way many people are living.
