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? How does this affect your ability to stay on track with your wellness goals?
