Recognizing and acknowledging stress that employees are experiencing and providing coping techniques for employees can increase productivity and performance in the workplace.

Ranked in order of personal effectiveness: Visualization Deep Breathing Progressive Muscle Relaxation Mediation Yoga Massage Therapy Hypnosis Visualization- I believe that visualization is a very effective stress management technique. This method has proven benefits related to workplace, family and personal...

...Company Stress and Burnout Factors Gary Dessler (2012) discusses the consequences of job stress and burnout for both the employer and employee. Most people understand the effects of stress and health but are unaware of the detrimental effects of stress for the employer and employee. The long-term effects of stress cost millions of dollars to the company and reduce the health of the employee. Job stress creates burnout and affects performance, profit, and health costs. Reducing Stress is Profitable Although there is not on cause of stress that creates problems for all people identifying stress and taking steps to reduce stress is beneficial to both the employer and employee. Dessler (2012) discusses a fact that as of 2011, only 5% of employers address stress in the work place. Only 5% of employers realize the effects of stress and burnout in the workplace and one fourth of employees attribute the “job as the number-one stressor in their lives” (Dessler, 2012, p. 309). Clearly, the discrepancy is in itself a stressor. The American Psychological Association (APA) (2012) identifies stress and burnout as leading to depression, eating and sleeping habits, emotional exhaustion, diabetes, forms of cancer, heart problems, decreased immunity leading to illnesses and even death. Stress in this paper is identified as an individualistic perception of events surrounding an individual. Two people within the same circumstances will not feel the same effects of the same situation. ...

...Stress is something that you feel when you have taken on more than you can handle, or are use to handling. It is the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure placed on them from extraordinary demands, constraints, or opportunities (Robbins/DeCenzo page 227). The body responds to stress as if you are in danger producing hormones that speed up both your heart rate and breathing giving you a burst of energy ("Stress management- topic," 2009). There are different types of stress, some can be useful by helping with reaction time and others very harmful to the body. It is when stress happens too often and last for an extended amount of time that the body reacts negatively from the stress. Stress has been linked to cause illness and can have damaging affects on our relationships with others. There are ways to manage stress and keep it under control, not allowing it to have a negative impact on us. Work-related stress is a normal form of stress when taking on too much at one time. It can also be associated with fear of being laid off, overtime, pressures to perform at a certain level and pressure to work at optimum levels (Segal, 2012). It is the excessive stress that interferes with productivity and a person’s physical and emotional health. It is important that you have the ability to recognize stress and deal with it accordingly so it does not have the possibility to render you powerless when approached with difficult situations.
