Health & Wellbeing
By addressing issues such as stress and offering programmes for individuals to manage their health, our aim is to make L&Q a place where people want to work.
Stress Management
Whilst stress is not a particular problem for the staff at L&Q we have been looking at the issue of stress management and are highlighting what L&Q has to offer to help manage stress in the workplace or at home.
Training Courses:
L&Q offers a number of training courses aimed at managing stress:
- managing pressure and stress
