Any job can have stressful elements, even if you love what you do. In the short-term, you may experience pressure to meet a deadline or to fulfill a challenging obligation. But when work stress becomes chronic, it can be overwhelming — and harmful to both physical and emotional health.Unfortunately, work-related stress doesn't just disappear when you head home for the day. When stress persists, it can take a toll on your health and wellbeing. In the short term, a stressful work environment can contribute to problems such as headache, stomachache, sleep disturbances, short temper and difficulty concentrating. Chronic stress can result in anxiety, insomnia, high blood pressure and a weakened immune system. It can also contribute to health conditions such as depression, obesity and heart disease. Compounding the problem, people who experience excessive stress often deal with it in unhealthy ways such as overeating, eating unhealthy foods, smoking cigarettes or abusing drugs and alcohol.Find out more about the most common work stressors, how your boss may help or hinder you and some of the best ways to manage stress at work.Enjoy light refreshments, and a chance to win fabulous door prizes.Date: Tuesday March 27, 2018Time: 6:30 - 8:30 pmLocation: LoyaltyOne | 351 King St. E. | Toronto | Dubai Room | 7th FloorGUEST SPEAKER:Ellen Choi, PhDOrganizational Social Psychologistdrellenchoi.comEMCEE:Vitina BlumenthalMindfulness Teacher & Wellness Experience DesignerFounder, WanderfulSoul & Co-founder, WanderwellWITH GENEROUS SUPPORT BY RBC, Brain Canada & MedtronicFOR TICKETS VISIT EMM_STRESSatWORK
