Due to the reductions in force that many employers have had to do, work hours and stress levels have increased in corporations. When employees are stressed they become ill more often and use more insurance benefits.
If you have an EAP program it would be beneficial to speak with them about how to conduct programs that reduce stress in the workplace. These programs can also help employees with stress reduction techniques when they feel the pressure increasing.
Everyone feels stress in their life, some good (having a baby, getting married, etc.) and some not so good (illness, death, heavy workloads). When you equip your employees with techniques to handle these stressful times you will find a happier and more productive workplace.
