With the implementation of the project we sought to reduce work stress and prevent burnout of our union's staff that make it difficult to effectively resolve problems because they hinder the smooth process of professional and organisational decision-making. The ultimate goal was to empower our organization's staff in supporting family caregivers
Greek Carers Network Epioni needed to train staff in reducing work stress and preventing burnout for more effective decision making. It was noted that in the day-to-day running of the organisation the workload was relatively high and the resulting work stress was becoming increasingly noticeable for trainers working with carers of people with chronic illness or disability. The demanding work schedule put pressure on our agency staff and this posed significant risks of reduced productivity and inefficient performance of job duties and responsibilities.
