Members,
In the past week, we’ve been talking about stress management. Contrary to popular belief, stress is not a given when it comes to working. Stress at work often leads to:
- Decrease commitment
- Decreased productivity
- Increase in incidence of mental health illnesses such as anxiety & depression
- Increased incidence of absenteeism
- Decreased recruitment & retention
- Decreased customer satisfaction
From this list, you should conclude that learning how to cope effectively with stress in the workplace can result in a better work environment. It also makes you a better employee. If you encourage others to do the same, a better boss or coworker!
How does stress impact you at work?
