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

How To Reduce Workplace Conflict And Stress
An alarming 88% of Americans cite hostility,
desk-rage, and workplace incivility as top concerns. How to Reduce
Workplace Conflict and Stress will help executives, supervisors, and
managers-and the people that work for them-protect pride, profit and
productivity from these disabling emotions. Protect your career and
workplace from the hidden costs of workplace tension and hostility.
With How to Reduce Workplace Conflict and Stress, you will learn how

Apology.
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.
