THEME:
Downsizing, restructuring, perfectionism, doing more with less, disconnection, a lack of control and appreciation - Everyone experiences some degree of job related stress. Some stress is essential to maintain peak performance. However, too much job stress can lower productivity, lead to workaholism, create burnout, increase medical claims, and decrease employee satisfaction. The key to coping is to understand the factors that make a person vulnerable, to remove or modify those sources of stress that can be influenced and to find beneficial coping strategies for those sources that can't be controlled.
