Is STRESS taking a toll on an employee's attitude and productivity?
Organizational research has demonstrated that stress-related problems result in:
  • increased absenteeism
  • substance abuse
  • mood problems
  • increased job turnover
  • retraining costs
  • lower morale
  • higher insurance premiums
  • physical illness
  • a rise in interpersonal conflict

Most of us give little thought to maintaining health until symptoms and suffering inform us it has been lost. CCDS uses a preventative, dynamic, results-oriented training experience aimed at helping people eliminate the debilitating effects of chronic stress. Stress can be thought of as an excess of negative emotional energy that leads to mental, physical and interpersonal breakdown. Powerlessness is often the byproduct that blocks job effectiveness and productivity. We use an empowering alternative approach designed to remove the blocks to enable a person to function more effectively and efficiently with greater job satisfaction.
