Now and again, we experience stress, which isn’t uncommon. These days, workplace stress is witnessed among most of the employees in an organization. But a mental pressure that adds a burden to your shoulders making you unhappy, tired, frustrated, and hopeless is an indication that it needs to be controlled. Overlooking these signs may lead to physical illness and prolonged mental health issues.
The corporate environment has taken a major shift in terms of employee and customer satisfaction. In order to retain employees, organizations are adapting to methods and techniques that help employees lead a healthy and happy life; in and out of the premises of the company. Several corporate wellness workshops have come up intending to provide employees with the support they need while at work. So, if the workspace loves you, you’ll love it back.
Besides, personal lives, their work-life also plays a crucial role in keeping them sane, satisfied, and happy. Also, it’s the responsibility of the top-management to ensure that their employees are enjoying the work they do, their problems are resolved, and everything that’s needed to keep them going. Over the years, companies have realized the importance of the working environment and the mental health of people working in it.
How common is workplace stress?
It’s a common notion that stress can happen to anyone these days regardless of any reason. While stress is indeed quite present among a good portion of the working population, it is also important to note that stress affects one in five of the working population. In the research conducted by The American Institute of Stress, it was found that 40% considered their job extremely stressful, 25% saw their jobs as number one stressors, 75% of employees thought that workers have more on-job stress NOW and 25% felt moderately stressed at work. This is why, today, many companies are relying upon stress reduction workshops.
What causes stress at work?
Sometimes, even the work itself becomes stressful while during other times, other factors also influence how a worker feels. Despite government policies and organization developments, employees still face events that hamper their well-being. Here’s a list of common stressors at work that you should look out for.
- Skyrocketing workload: Unrealistic expectations of meeting deadlines, especially when the workload is high, make people feel pressurized, overwhelmed, easily tired, and also, distant from their surroundings. The amount of work you get can impact your mental health.
- Poor work relationships and support: Good connections and support are what an employee seeks from their job. Unfortunately, in many instances, they don’t get to experience it. A person who doesn’t get ample support and doesn’t have fruitful communication with other workers tends to feel left alone.
- Unfavourable work environment: The surroundings of an employee play a critical role in how they feel about coming to work every day. Excessive heat, too much noise, less sanitation, no cleanliness, etc. can affect their productivity and performance.
- Lack of communication: Each employee has the right to know about the major business changes. In the absence of timely communication, an employee may feel disregarded and uncertain about their career path in the organization.
