Stress is an unavoidable part of our daily lives. It affects both our personal lives and our professional performance at work. Stress that we do not manage or manage poorly causes many health and work problems not only for ourselves, but also for the people around us (e.g. absenteeism, job dissatisfaction, physical illness, job burnout, depression, anxiety and other psychological problems). What can we do to escape the vicious circle of "stress" and effectively manage this phenomenon, which is almost imperceptible but has a major impact on our lives?

The first step in overcoming stress is to understand what causes it for us personally. The second step is to find ways to manage stress and change the situation. Only the ability to cope with stress and manage it effectively leads to more effective work, better health and overall positive well-being. That is why we offer our professional services - personalised solutions for identifying, coping with and managing personal and work-related stress. 

The process consists of two main parts:

1. Identifying the main sources of your stress, analysing your reaction to stress and discussing ways of coping with stress: finding personal resources to resist stress, analysing the peculiarities of coping with stressful situations. 
2. Drawing up a detailed personal action plan and advice and support in its implementation.

Stress is our enemy only if we do not understand its main causes and know how to manage and overcome it. IPM's professional consultants will help you analyse any stressful situation in your personal or professional life and find specific practical ways to change it for the better. Turn stress into a challenge that you can overcome successfully and feel happy!

To assess stress levels, we use the StressScan. This is a professional assessment tool designed to identify personal stress levels, key lifestyle behaviours and habits that pose a risk to a person's health, and those that can help protect against the negative effects of stress. The StressScan methodology is based on over 20 years of scientific research in the field of stress and will help you quickly and clearly:

• Identify what causes stress for you personally, 
• Identify the areas of your life where you have the most difficulty, 
• Find out what personal resources can help protect you from the harmful effects of stress, 
• and gives you the opportunity to develop stress management skills and apply them successfully in your personal and professional life.
