Job stress has become a common and costly problem in the workplace. According to a study, 40% of the American employees feel that their job is very stressful. As the issue of job related stress persist so will the employees work habits – ranging from extra sick days, decreased productivity, to even increased management problems. The cost of stress related problems to employers are estimated at about 150 billion dollars in the U.S. and 700 million pounds per year in the U.K.

Steps to relieve stress at work:

Step one: Practice non-attachment: Focus on the things you can change; distance yourself from those you can’t.

Step two: Cultivate an open mind and heart: Understand that you have strengths and weaknesses, and you will mistakes. When you do, take them as opportunities for learning, not a sign of incompetence or failure.

Step three: Balance realism and optimism: Distorting reality, either positively or negatively, can impede your ability to cope with change.

Step four: Develop confident humility: If the task is yours, act decisively; if it has been delegated to others, trust them to perform them task without interfering. This leaves both manager and staff to worry about what they are working on and not what the other person is doing.

Step five: Be constructive and impatient at the same time: Risk taking and urgency are important, but make sure staff feel safe when doing so by celebrating successes and dealing with failures constructively.
