Abstract

The problems inherent in modern work systems, which include high demand, dependence on technologies and tight deadlines, end up having repercussions on the physical and mental health of workers and generating impacts from lost productivity to accentuated absenteeism and burnout. This training program seeks to lead to resilience and stress control in the work environment, through a digital platform accessible by computer and smartphone. There will be 6 virtual group meetings, where biological, psychological and philosophical concepts related to stress will be discussed, ending with guided meditation practices and conducted by a specialist in the area. The platform will also contain study material, audio guides and progression monitoring to be developed by participants throughout the 6 weeks of the program and in order to ensure long-term engagement and changes.
