Work-Related Stress Management

Work-related stress is a growing problem that affects not only the health and well-being of employees, but also the productivity of organizations. Stress is not an illness – it is a state. However, if stress becomes excessive or prolonged, there is a risk that mental or physical illness such as poor concentration, headaches, stomach and gastrointestinal problems, anxiety, insomnia, raised blood pressure, depression and can contribute to obesity and heart disease may develop. Availing therapy can help in balancing a person’s work and personal life, teach better adaptive skills at the workplace, and help explore healthier coping mechanisms.

Work-related stress management is essential for maintaining mental and physical well-being in a professional setting. Effective stress management strategies enable individuals to cope with workplace pressures, reduce stress-related health risks, and maintain productivity and job satisfaction.
