Hello everyone!\u00a0 Today we\u2019re going to share a podcast regarding Work-Related Stress. It\u2019s just 5 minutes long but it will greatly expand your knowledge of just how serious stress is, and how avoiding it in your workplace is a major factor to having a successful company. Few people realize how serious stress really is, and how it can affect just about anyone on a daily basis. It\u2019s important to go to great lengths to avoid stress \u2013 more and more studies are being performed, and the results make it crucial for us to avoid getting \u201cstressed out\u201d at all costs.<\/p>\n

These symptoms should not be disregarded as they can have long term negative effects on an individual. People tend to cope with stress by increasing their smoking habit, taking antidepressants, consuming alcohol more frequently, and taking sleeping pills. It becomes apparent the further you investigate stress in the workplace that people are ashamed and do not admit to stress being a reason for their issues\/ sickness\/ lethargy.<\/p>\n Two things that I personally find beneficial to avoid stress in the workplace is to just smile, even if I\u2019m unhappy, or not in the mood that day – smile – because maybe your co-worker who is feeling down, catches your eye and sees your smile. Believe me, you just changed their day for the better. The other, is (as hard as can be in the workplace…) NO SHOP TALK! It\u2019s enticing to talk about work all the time (especially in the Aviation Industry, right?) but talking to someone about their upcoming trip to France, or their game of golf on the weekend, will take your mind far away from the fact that you\u2019re at work. Taking those breaks and some \u201cme\u201d time at work is also important. If you\u2019re busy talking to someone on the phone all day, on your break go for a 10 minute walk and clear your mind (smile as you walk!). The endorphins you acquire from that stroll will leave you feeling great for the rest of your work day.<\/p>\n So whether you\u2019re a boss, an employee or even a co-worker who sees these symptoms in another, acknowledge them, and know that there are ways to end work-related stress. Talk about it openly and non-judgmentally as it is not a weakness, but instead needs to be thought of as an infection.<\/p>\n We hope this helps to make your workplace a stress-free and positive environment for yourself and your co-workers\/employees.<\/p>\n Thanks for reading, Hello everyone!\u00a0 Today we\u2019re going to share a podcast regarding Work-Related Stress.
