SHOW APPRECIATION FOR YOUR STAFF
Appreciating the efforts of staff members and publicly
acknowledging their achievements can have a profound
effect on morale and productivity. When deciding how
and when to show appreciation, keep in mind that
each employee is unique. Some workers would rather
have a note placed on their desk or an in-person thank
you than be singled out in a meeting. No matter the
method you use, employees will appreciate knowing
that you’re cognisant of their accomplishment. They
become happier and more at ease as a result, which
reduces stress.
MANAGEABLE WORKLOAD
Having too much to do is a common cause of stress. Time
constraints are inevitable in most professions. That, however,
is not the same as someone who is continuously faced with
a mountain of duties that they simply cannot complete, or
deadlines they cannot fulfil. As they continue to fall behind,
they will feel helpless and overwhelmed. They then miss even
more deadlines and suffer from greater anxiety or burnout.
It’s critical to realise that in this case working more quickly or
harder may not solve the problem. Instead, you need to take
action to reorganise workloads, recruit additional support or
make the parameters of a task more clear.
