What is a professional development unit (PDU)?

A professional development unit or “PDU” is the quantitative value attributed to a training activity recognized by the Chambre de la Securite Financiere – CSF. One (1) PDU represents one (1) hour of training.

Can extra PDUs be carried over to the next period?

A representative can carry over up to 5 extra PDUs to the next reference period if the PDUs were accumulated in the last three months of a reference period, between September 1 and November 30 of an odd year. Carrying over extra PDUs must be done by the representative by logging in to their secure PDU record, through the Chambre de la Securite Financiere website in the Members’ Area.

How do I register for distance training?

National Stress Awareness Day

National Stress Awareness Day

The 17th National Stress Awareness Day, which is held to celebrate helping people to beat stress is Wednesday 4 November 2015. The theme this year is “Employee well being as a worthwhile investment in your business”.

Do you know the main reasons for stress at work?

Situations that are likely to cause stress are those that are unpredictable or uncontrollable, uncertain, ambiguous or unfamiliar, or involving conflict, loss or performance expectations. Stress may be caused by time limited events, such as the pressures of examinations or work deadlines, or by ongoing situations, such as family demands, job insecurity, or long commuting journeys. Depression and issues from work are one of the main causes of stress.

Resources that help meet the pressures and demands faced at work include personal characteristics such as coping skills (for example, problem solving, assertiveness, time management) and the work situation such as a good working environment and social support. These resources can be increased by investment in work infrastructure, training, good management and employment practices, and the way that work is organized.

ILScorp offers the following training to help manage stress in the workplace.
