Managing Stress
There is lots of guidance out there in the HR Etha now about managing stress in the workplace, but in practical terms how many companies take it seriously???
In these economic times it is more likely that more people will suffer with stress and depression… for a number of reasons, all of which interlink! The situations that people may find themselves in are not just personal (with household budgets getting tighter and tighter, especially if a family member has been made redundant) but also, for those employees who have found themselves as a survivor of the latest job cuts, the likelyhood is in some cases, they may well feel that they are being asked to do the job of 2 people when their own workload was heavy enough!!
So, whether you agree or not I would advise, if you wish to manage employees productivity and have optimum efficiency, that you prevent, recognise the likelihood and manage stress in the workplace.
