Stress Awareness Month with Jaidy Week 02

This April, in recognition of Stress Awareness Month, we are slowing things down and opening up an important conversation about stress in the workplace.

Our CIS Colleague Development Administrator & Holistic Health Coach, Jaidy Madrigal, will be sharing simple, practical ways to support your wellbeing and build more sustainable performance.

This week is about understanding stress.

Jaidy shares; “Understanding stress helps you recognise when it’s starting to affect your focus, energy, and decision-making. By identifying triggers early, you can take small, intentional steps to manage stress before it impacts performance, teamwork, or wellbeing. Awareness is the first step to staying effective, balanced, and resilient at work. Recognising your stress triggers will help you better manage them.”

From tension and fatigue to difficulty focusing, stress can show up in ways we don’t always immediately recognise.

A simple place to start is by taking consistent breaks throughout your day. Even a few moments to pause and step away can make a real difference.
