ASP/Business Centers No-Stress Seminar March 18Nancy Myers, director of the university's Employee Assistance Program, will lead a seminar called "Understanding Stress associated with Business Centers or ASP" from 2 to 4 p.m. March 18 in Room E103 of the Beadle Center. The seminar is open to anyone with interest in the topic. It is free of charge and no pre-registration is required. This seminar will focus on ways that individuals can manage change and help others in a positive way. Tips and best practices to reduce stress, increase learning confidence and maintain the human side of the workplace will be presented. Whenever an organization undergoes major change, stress occurs. Not all stress is negative and many of the changes associated with Business Centers or ASP will benefit UNL and ultimately simplify and clarify the work many of us do. There is a period of time, however during change which is referred to as a learning curve. When we are entering a learning curve, we are exploring new territory. Many questions and unknowns emerge. Some of us may experience uncertainty or frustration during the time it takes to master new systems. For more information about ASP visit the web site at http://asp.uneb.edu.
