Description

SMD1026 – Stress Management in the Age of AI

Overview

In today’s rapidly evolving and hyperconnected world, our time, attention, and mental energy are in constant demand. The rise of digital tools, AI technologies, continuous notifications, multitasking expectations, and information overload has significantly intensified workplace stress and anxiety.

While stress and anxiety are natural human responses, modern work patterns—such as always-on connectivity, fragmented attention, and digital overload—can amplify these experiences, negatively affecting focus, emotional regulation, productivity, and overall wellbeing.

This two-day program takes a comprehensive and contemporary approach to stress management by addressing not only traditional workplace stressors, but also anxiety, cognitive overload, burnout, and digital fatigue associated with AI-driven and technology-heavy work environments.

Participants will be guided to identify their personal stress triggers, understand how modern work habits impact their stress response, and develop practical coping strategies. The program equips participants with tools to manage emotional and digital stressors, build resilience, and sustain performance and wellbeing in today’s demanding professional landscape.

This program can be tailored to your specific business needs.
