Stress Management, Depression and Anxiety at Work – Jan. 2012 JSAHR Meeting
Employees are in distress. They’re having panic attacks, anxiety and depression. They’re working longer hours. They’re not taking lunch, and they’re not taking vacations. This affects productivity, morale and employee engagement.
Dr. James Proodian, the founder and president of the Wellness at Work employee health education program, will explain how HR professionals can begin to implement an internal wellness program for their companies, during his presentation “Stress Management, Depression and Anxiety in the Workplace, Thursday, January 12, 2012, at the monthly meeting of The Jersey Shore Association for Human Resources (JSAHR), a Superior Merit Award Chapter of SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management), 8:00 to 10:00 a.m., Jumping Brook Country Club, 210 Jumping Brook Road, Neptune, N.J.
This presentation will be particularly helpful for HR professionals who deal with employee relations; and health, safety and security because depression and anxiety are very pervasive. By 2020, the World Health Organization estimates that depression will be the number two cause of “lost years of healthy life” worldwide. Clinical depression alone costs the United States $44 billion annually. Depression and anxiety disorders affect 19 million American adults annually.
