Book excerpt: #STRESS: Work Problems: How To Overcome Stress At Work And Keep Calm For The Overworked And Overwhelmed To Increase Productivity And Get Things Done "How can anybody make the most stressful job in the world stress-free and fulfilling without applying radical changes?" Stress is the biggest single cause of illness in the United States, affecting two in every 10 employees, from the overwhelmed new recruits to the busiest company executives. It is a major cause of company losses in the country amounting to $1.9 billion a year due to absenteeism; yet, most people still fail to manage stress completely in their workplaces resulting to lower productivity, lots of delays, and unfocused performance. What most employees dismiss as a "normal" part of holding a career actually spurs the most trivial of symptoms, such as mood swings, to the most serious ones, such as hypertension and erectile dysfunction. The question remain, however, "Why do most employees fail to take stress management at work seriously?" Overwhelming tasks often lead to overwhelming stress, but that does not always have to be the case. Constant stress usually leads to confusion, but overlook it and it might damage your memory for good. Most distressed people demonstrate changes in eating habits, but subject yourself to the same evitable emotions and you might end up with a clinical depression. Stress always starts small, but taking it for granted will allow it to grow bigger, affecting how your life goes in and out of the workplace. There is no better way to beat stress, but to practice avoidance and adaptation to your primary stressors. This book addresses exactly that by showing how stress starts and aggravates at work. It starts by allowing you to realize the situations that lead to stress, and how wrong habits and mentalities worsen it. As overwhelming tasks at work also pose big problems towards effective stress management, guidelines are also given to put them in their right places once and for all. As the remaining chapters try to explain, buffering stress to avoid affecting how people think and act in their works takes systematic approach so as not to compromise productivity and performance. It is indeed possible to receive overwhelming tasks without the risk of facing severe emotional and mental damages that usually come with the tasks. Here Is A Preview Of What You Will Learn The Benefits Of This Book How stress affects your productivity in ways you have never expectedUnderstand how stress aggravates mindsets and habits you never knew are harmfulHow to make the management of overwhelming tasks fun and fulfillingHow to ignore stressors like they do not exist in your workplaceYou will find ways to see stress on the brighter side And much, much more Anyone, regardless of past or present can succeed at managing stress at work while improving productivity and resiliency - Today This book is everything you need to have a fruitful career without suffering the added pressure and stress of bigger responsibilities.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Download or read book Mayo Clinic Strategies To Reduce Burnout written by Stephen Swensen MD, MMM and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mayo Clinic Strategies to Reduce Burnout: 12 Actions to Create the Ideal Workplace tells the story of the evolving journey of those in the medical profession. It dwells not on the story of burnout, distress, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and cognitive dissonance but rather on a narrative of hope for professional fulfillment, well-being, joy, and camaraderie. Achieving this aim requires health care professionals and administrative leaders working together to create the ideal workplace-through nurturing positivity and pushing negativity aside. The ultimate aspiration is esprit de corps-the common spirit existing in members of a group that inspires enthusiasm, devotion, loyalty, camaraderie, engagement, and strong regard for the welfare of the team and of common interests and responsibilities. Mayo Clinic Strategies to Reduce Burnout: 12 Actions to Create the Ideal Workplace provides a road map for you to create esprit de corps for your team and organization. The map is paved with information about reliable, patient-centered, and thoughtful systems embedded within psychologically safe and just cultures. The authors drew on their extensive research on the well-being of health care professionals; from their experience in quality, department operations, leadership and organization development, management, safe havens, and care teams; and from their roles as president, chief wellness officer, chief quality officer, chair, principal investigator, senior fellow, and board director.

Download or read book How to Overcome Work Stress An Office Survival Guide written by Peter J. Copeland and published by EBC Edizioni. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all, more or less, suffer from stress. We stress with family, with girlfriends, with friends. We stress when something is wrong, in any area of our lives. But there comes a point when this malaise begins to show itself prominently. To ruin our days, our relationships, our productivity. Stress, we can say it, is the real and insidious disease of modern life. Think about it for a little while: What is your main cause of tension? What makes you nervous, irritable and, to some extent, even sad? What makes you ineffective in relationships? What would you give to feel at least a little bit better? Everyone has their own paturnias, everyone has their own daily challenges to face. This book is about how to deal with stress but in a very specific area, namely the work environment. We spend a third of our lives in a place where we have to produce, be on a computer, relate to other people. How can we even remotely underestimate the importance of the quality of time we spend at work? While stress is part of any work-related problem, it can be really detrimental as well as crippling. Long story short: a little stress is good. But don’t overdo it, don’t break the string. Never! When you are overstretched, not only do you become a magnet for all kinds of ailments possible and imaginable, but you also begin to exhibit a degree of inefficiency. And that’s not good. Neither for you nor for your team. This happens because when you’re physically and emotionally imbalanced, your ability to cope with everyday situations becomes less polished (and your resistance to illnesses lowers as well, did you know?). With this book you’ll get all the information you need to better manage all that tension you accumulate every day in the workplace and, to some extent, it can make your life a little less hard. As we’ll see later, you’ll need to learn how to organize your days, but more importantly, how to handle relationships with a new spirit. This text is dedicated to all those who are experiencing a frustrating situation related to the world of business and relationships with colleagues, with the hope of being able to bring a pinch of serenity and lightness in your lives. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Only your decision can change things Always put your mental and physical well-being on your priority list.

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.
Download or read book Manage Your Time to Reduce Your Stress written by Rita Emmett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How often do you think to yourself "So much to do and so little time"? Rita Emmett can not give you more minutes in an hour or more hours in a day, but she does offer help with the "so much to do" part. The key is not time management but "stuff" management--all those things to do, people to see, commitments and obligations to fulfill. And mismanaging all that to-do stuff is what leads to stress. We often have little control over the demands made upon us, yet we can control our reaction or response. That's where the management of stress must start. Stress is neither good nor bad: your response to it is what can be harmful. In Rita Emmett's signature style that combines quick, easy-to-digest tips and infectious good humor, Manage Your Time to Reduce Your Stress gives readers positive ways to handle stress; examines how stress impacts our physical, mental, and emotional health; how to clarify your values and prioritize activities based on what is important. Spending time doing things that are incongruent with your values makes you feel frustrated and stressed out. Striving for perfection, being overly competitive, and job insecurity are some of the other reasons you feel overburdened and overwhelmed. Rita Emmett draws on the stories of many people who have e-mailed or written her or spoken to her after her seminars; readers will identify not only with their problems but can find common ground in Rita's strategies that have worked for them.
