Executive Coaching Issues - Stress Management
Is stress an issue in your workplace?
There is no doubt that the incidence of work related stress is on the increase. In fact the Health and Safety Executive in the UK estimates that an average case of stress leave amounts to 31 lost working days or 13 million days in total. This costs UK employers £3.7 billion per year in lost productivity.
Knowing how to handle stress is a vital tool for busy executives. Whilst some level of stress can actually be helpful for people to raise their game at work, the downsides of stress to you or your organisation are too great to ignore. Stress can damage you or your business in the following ways:
- Stress impacts people negatively at a mental, physical and emotional level leading to illness and low self esteem
- Stress can have a detrimental effect on personal and professional relationships often resulting in conflict and poor teamwork
- Individuals suffering from stress will be less productive in the long run
- Legal claims against employers for stress-related cases are on the increase
If you can effectively deal with your employee's stress problems your organisation will avoid the financial costs of stress leave or costs associated with staff turnover. Also you can ensure that you have healthy, well balanced employees who can bring their best to their work.
