Download or read book A Guide to Managing Workplace Stress written by Trevor Hicks and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has commissioned recent research which has indicated that: . about half a million people in the UK experience work-related stress at a level they believe is making them ill; . up to 5 million people in the UK feel "very" or "extremely" stressed by their work; and . a total of 12.8 million working days were lost to stress, depression and anxiety in 2004/5. Work-related stress is therefore a serious problem and tackling it effectively can result in significant benefits for organizations. This can result in a happier and more productive workforce with fewer days away from work with stress related illnesses. Managers will also want to comply with recent HSE advice on managing stress within the workplace fulfilling their duty of care to employees. This should result in less exposure of organisations to the threat of litigation and the resultant negative publicity this causes. The intention of this book is to provide information to those who may be suffering from work related stress and to provide managers with a "toolkit" to help address such problems in the workforce.

Here is a sample strategy from the book:8. Build Positive RelationshipsWe spend 8 hours every day with our colleagues. That's usually more time than we spend with the person we've chosen to marry, our friends, or our family. Why would you not want to have pleasant and professional relationships with these people? I work with a lot of teams that are stressed out, with high workloads and big demands, but their number one stressor seems to be interpersonal relationships. It's tough dealing with other people all day long, especially when they aren't people you would have chosen to spend a significant part of your life with. We need to find ways to manage all our relationships professionally and focus on building strong relationships with the people we do enjoy.In a recent study of workplace dynamics reported in the Harvard Business Review, researchers "found that ... having a lot of coworkers who eventually developed into friends, significantly increased employees' performance, as judged by their supervisor. One possible reason for this was people seeking advice. If you have friends in the company, it's far easier to ask for help without fearing you'll be judged a poor performer. In addition, having friends in the company, especially if they work in other departments, gives you access to information through informal networks you might not otherwise get. Another reason might be morale: Employees with close friends at work reported being in a good mood more often, which could spill over into positive effects on the work being performed."If you do choose to build stronger connections at work, take the time to ask people about themselves and their lives. I've been consistently surprised when I get to know people better - everyone has an interesting story. You'll often find common ground, new respect and compassion for others.
