To mark the 20th anniversary of National stress awareness day on Wednesday 7th November Milliken hosted a practical session for designers and architects.
In the fourth of their series of wellbeing events leading flooring manufacturer Milliken invited Neil Shah (founder and Director or the Stress Management Society and best-selling author) to run an ‘excelling under pressure’ workshop. Interior designers and architects are known to be amongst the most stressed workers with tight deadlines, financial pressure and an ultra-competitive environment.
Invited guests made up of interior designers and architects gathered at Milliken’s Clerkenwell showroom for a workshop designed to build self-awareness, resilience and to empower individuals to recognise workplace stress and tackle stress-related challenges at work through effective coping strategies. Stress guru Neil Shah explained that our typical response of turning to stimulants (such as caffeine, refined sugar, nicotine and alcohol) at times of pressure exasperates the problem. As an alternative he shared breathing techniques and ways to help individuals define and articulate their stress levels.
In a Nationwide study just completed by the Stress Management Society for Peldon Rose 95% of respondents state their physical work environment is important for their wellbeing and mental health. However half say their current working environment doesn’t have a positive effect on their mental health (51%), wellbeing (49%), mood (47%) and productivity (43%).[1]
