You recently attended a workshop presented by Ms. Carpe on Stress in the Workplace and are aware of the causes and consequences of stress.
The vice-president has asked you to create a cartoon on stress in the workplace to be published in the company's monthly newsletter. The focus on the cartoon should be the following:
■ Causes of Stress
■ Consequences of Stress
■ How employees may handle stress
■ What the employer should do to help manage their employees stress
Your task Is to create comic strip (2 pages) that demonstrates these concepts mentioned above.
