Deal with work-related stress

“But lack of awareness leads to a dangerous, high-stress environment that will cause problems for the workers as well as the organisation’s operations in general.”

In fact, excessive stress will lead to almost 50% more sick days, according to recent studies. Another startling fact is that employees that are highly stressed are twice as likely to be unproductive or distracted at work than employees who have average stress. 

The solution can be accomplished with four steps: Identify the issue – know the symptoms of a high-stressed employee and prepare to act; determine how serious the situation is and how quickly you need to respond and what kind of response is warranted; take action to resolve the stressful situation; keep a close eye on the situation and be prepared to take action if the situation arises again.
