Pressure is a part of everyday life.
Managing stress however requires skill and understanding
When the pressure is a source of stimulation and creativity
this can be a positive experience. If it becomes a source of worry or tension
however, then it will be a negative experience. If people experience an inappropriate
amount of negative pressures over a period of time they will become stressed.
Learning how to manage stress is a crucial skill for all managers and
individuals alike.
Stress at work
Stress can be
caused through relationships and the environment at work. Managing stress at work is now
recognised as one of the major challenges in today's workplace. The Health
and Safety Executive confirm that as many as one in five people are suffering
high levels of work-related stress.
Stress can, amongst other things, lead to poor staff
performance and lower productivity, higher sickness absence and staff turnover
and a breakdown in co-operation and effective working relationships. Currently
trades unions are actively supporting hundreds of cases through the courts.
Whilst an
organisation cannot remove all sources of stress it can begin managing any
issues by adopting some important principles and
implementing some practical solutions that will help all the employees to work in a
healthier workplace.
