Coping & Stress Profile®

To avoid the peaks and valleys of productivity created by high stress levels, you need
employees who know how to balance the urgent demands of work life and personal
life. Even when things are going smoothly, the cumulative effects of day-to-day
stressors affect the way people behave. The Coping & Stress Profile® is a unique
learning instrument that connects stress and coping in four life areas: Personal, Work,
Couple and Family.

Learners gain important insights into how stress in one area impacts other areas,
how coping resources in one area impacts other areas, how coping resources in one
area can be used to decrease stress in another, and how stress, coping resources,
and overall satisfaction are closely related.

Helping People Manage Personal and Work Stress
Today's workplace demands high performance of its employees, but that no longer means putting
work ahead of everything else. Organizations formerly disregarded the need to balance life outside of
work and accepted the fact that productivity suffered as a result. Today's more dynamic, team-
oriented organizations require flexible, creative, sustainable performance, the kind that comes with
people who know how to balance the urgent demands of work life and personal life without sacrificing
either.

Discover the Power of Relationships
Other stress management approaches focus primarily on using personal coping resources such as
exercise, nutrition, and building self-esteem to deal with stress. The Coping & Stress Profile focuses
on relationship coping resources as the most effective and consistent response to stressors identified
in all four life areas.

Learn Four Key Coping Resources
Four key relationship coping resources are:

Problem-Solving – the ability to deal directly with, not avoid, the problems you face and make
positive changes to resolve them
Communication – the ability to honestly share thoughts and feelings with others to promote
mutual understanding
Closeness – a comfort level with others and the ability to connect with people in your
environment
Flexibility – an openness and ability to respond to change

The Coping & Stress Profile helps people in organizations:

discover stress issues in each life area and capitalize on coping strengths to manage stress
earn to minimize or eliminate common daily stressors
