Manage Workplace Stress
Workplace stress results from multiple internal and external factors. Internal factors can be attributed to budgets, employee performance issues, sales and profit outlooks, and overall employee relationships within the business. External factors can result from economic uncertainty, competitors, and market value prices. To help reduce and control workplace stress for your employees, consider applying certain coping mechanisms. One stress-reducing technique is to provide workers with opportunities to participate in decisions that affect their jobs (e.g. work scheduling and advancement opportunities).
