Stress at Work

In 2005, Personnel Today reckoned that Stress in the Workplace cost the UK
£100bn a year. Employees still struggle to alleviate stress in the workplace with
further demands onemployees. Small changes can be made even for smaller
companies who find it difficult to make dramatic changes such as
flexi time policies, quiet rooms, counselling and  support etc

Employees still find it difficult to disclose emotional and mental health
problems to employers in relation to prejudice, fear of future job prospects etc
So what can the small employers do to help? There is many small changes
changes employers can make some include;
 
Breaks: emphasis the importance of employees taking breaks, tea
and lunch breaks are important to help the body
restore energy levels, clarity and de-stress.

Healthy Eating: encourage healthy eating by using a local fruit supplier
or snack  company that supply healthy option snacks, rather than
the local burger or hot dog van. Many employees eat on convenience,

provide healthier options and you will have healthier staff.

 
Healthy Environment: it is important that any environment is
as healthy as can be in relation to the type of work and industry. Noise pollution,
. environmental issues can have a serious impact on someone who
is  already suffering from stress. Is there proper air conditioning, healthy room

temperature, comfortable seating etc

 
Employee Perks: Discounts or free access to counseling , therapies
is another way to help support your staff encourage them to stay in the
workplace rather than off at home. A great bonus is to offer
staff a free therapy day or lunchtime therapy week every so often.
Some companies offer this monthly, even yearly as a bonus.
your company cant afford this you can pay a portion of this service.
 
Supportive Management : reassuring employees that certain problems
can be discussed with sensitivity and in total confidence is vital. Regular reviews
with individual staff builds up trust and can help nip problems in the bud .
Is your management approachable, professional, supportive
and caring ? Do you recognise if an employee is suffering from Stress?
 
Water: Dehydration causes added stress to the body and its function.
Regular intake of fresh clean, water is very healthy and can be very
very important to keep us functioning well. Why not supply your
staff with a water well, a small cost to help your staff.
 
Workplace Training: Training in the workplace can be very helpful
helpful it encourages team building, further skills and confidence. Assertiveness,
Confidence Building and Stress Management can empower your employees
as individuals. This can be empowering for both employers and employees.
