Today’s fast paced world leaves quite a bit of room for employees to be stressed. If this stress goes unnoticed it can really impact the way a business operates and the success. Therefore, it is important to identify potential stressors and strategies to help reduce this stress. This article explores this ever important topic.
Key Takeaways:
- Increasing numbers of disputes within the staff, high turnover, more absenteeism, and frequent complaints and grievances can all be signs of stress throughout the workplace.
- A muddled management structure, or one where people have conflicting roles, frequently causes stress. A clear hierarchy where everyone feels valued and understands their responsibilities is better.
- Stress can often be a function of employees feeling that they are in over their heads. Workplaces that establish clear expectations and train workers for the jobs they do experience lower collective stress levels.
“When workers operate under serious strain, they pose a systemic risk to the entire businesses.”
