Coping With Workplace Stress - Have Positive People To Help You Conquer Stress At Work

by Gareth Selby

The things that happen in the workplace can be unpredictable and very overwhelming at times. It can range from a major argument with the boss, loosing a client, machinery and equipment breaking down, delays with an important project, poor relationships with co-workers, lost revenue, working long and excessive hours, feeling unappreciated by your employer, working in a disorganized work environment and a major blow like loosing your job. With so many things that can cause stress at work, it is no wonder why most of us have problems dealing with it.

According to my personal experiences, the best way to deal with situations that causes you stress at work is to discuss your problems with someone. By discussing those problems that causes you stress at work, you can come up with solutions to the problem and feel better about yourself and the situation.

I find the best people to discuss your problems with are:

* Your wife/partner.
* Your boss.
* A trusting co-worker/business associate.
* Your mentor.
* Business advisors.
* A friend.
* Your parents/relatives.
* A professional.
* God.
 

A few years ago, while working at a newspaper company, I had a co-worker who kept bothering me because she simply didn't like me. This went on for months and unfortunately I didn't do anything about it. Luckily a new employee named Amber started work in my department and we hit it off immediately. I found Amber a great person to discuss my problems with and she always cheered me up in a stressful situation. She also gave me advice on how to stand up to my troublemaking co-worker. I also provided Amber with support when she needed it as well.

During my work career, I've always had people that provided me with advice and support. Currently as a business owner, I have a business mentor, business associates and friends that I discuss my problems with.

And just because you constantly seek support and advice, doesn't make you a weak and dependant person. As a matter of fact, powerful and successful people like Bill Gates, Donald Trump and Arnold Schwarzenegger have advisers and confidants to discuss their problems with.

When selecting someone to discuss your problems with, make sure:

* They have great listening and communication skills.
* Can offer you great support.
* Can offer you sound solutions and constructive criticisms.
* Keep discussions confidential and are trustworthy.
* Optimistic.

Most of us cannot go through tough and stressful situations on our own and we need positive people that can help and support us during these times.

4 Elements for Reducing Stress in the Workplace Talent management is a critical strategy for the future hopes for many organizations' competitive advantage. Surveys keep warning about the looming talent shortage and how challenging it is today to not only find but to keep good people. One element that is critical in any strategic approach to talent management is understanding and recognizing the kinds of stresses that are operating throughout an organization (e.g., ineffective management, toxic workplaces, and rusted or burned out employees). Organizations continue to see rising costs in disability management, increased sick time, and greater numbers of employees applying for short-term psychological stress leave. With these rising costs organizations are taking on added financial burden that provides no direct value to profitability.Talent management programs must consider what is within an organization's control to mitigate stress. The cost of doing nothing is growing in epidemic proportions for many organizations but fortunately many are making a much more concerted effort to facilitate and promote employee health and healthy work conditions. 4 Elements for Reducing Workplace Stress is Volume 7 of the Howatt HR Consulting Talent Management Series that has been developed to promote strategic talent management considerations.  Volume 7 Introduces four elements that will help an organization facilitate discussions on the current level of stress within its workforce and the risks and strategies for assisting employees to manage their current stress levels. Each of the four sections has been developed to assist human resource and business leaders to discuss what their organization is doing well to reduce organizational and individual stress and what opportunities are available to make the work environment better. A core pillar for effective talent management is to retain a healthy and productive workforce.William A. Howatt, PhD, EdD, Post Doc Behavioral Science UCLA School of Medicine, is CEO of Howatt HR Consulting Inc., a strategic human resources management company. Howatt HR Consulting focuses on assisting companies to gain a significant competitive edge for their organization by minimizing risk to talent equity. This is accomplished through defining, designing, and developing talent management solutions for removing potential talent equity risks and to filling gaps.

Work Stress While there are many studies demonstrating the effects of stress on employees and organizations, there is little evidence that research findings are being appropriately used in corporate health care systems. Work Stress, consisting of original, multidisciplinary papers by academics and practitioners, examines the current knowledge of work stress, preventive management strategies, and therapeutic healing techniques used in health care programs.


Managing Workplace Stress (Advanced Topics in Organizational Behavior) "The book does well in several respects: First, it presents a broad but integrated view of the workplace as a source of stress. Second, it is thorough treatment of the topic of job stress and is well-referenced. Finally, it contains a clear description of the importance of organizational culture/climate as influencing perceived stress, a topic missing in many books." --Lawrence Murphy, Senior Research Psychologist, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Stress in the workplace is on the rise, resulting in higher rates of absenteeism, reduced productivity, and increased health compensation claims. Managing Workplace Stress examines the cause of this increase in work-related stress, with a particular emphasis on stress created by organizational changes including redesigning of jobs, reallocations of roles and responsibilities, and the accompanying job insecurities. It highlights the everyday stressors likely to impact managers and employees, such as working with difficult people and managing increased workloads. This insightful new volume also offers useful and practical strategies for dealing with these situations.
