In small doses, stress can be a motivator, helping you perform better and teaching you ways to overcome obstacles. However, when the pressure builds with too many responsibilities, unrealistic expectations and personality conflicts, it can lead to work-related stress. Stress may also be induced as a result of workplace bullying, harassment and discrimination.
Work-related stress is known to adversely affect employee engagement, morale and productivity. All of these could potentially harm the business goals.
What are the signs of work-related stress?
- Lack of confidence
- Lack of productivity
- Negative thoughts and feelings
- Irritability
- Mood swings
- Reduced appetite
- Avoiding social situations
What are the benefits of stress therapy?
Psychotherapy provides employees an opportunity to let out negative thoughts and feelings, thereby reducing stress. Some of the benefits of therapy include:
- Learn to identify triggers or thoughts that increase anxiety
- Understand oneself better, which leads to increased confidence levels.
- Learn to relax and stay calm
- Increased engagement with co-workers
- Reduced absence and turnover
