Work life balance and Stress Management

Improve the quality of your life

Work-related stress is a growing problem around the world that affects not only the health and well-being of employees, but also the productivity of organisations. Most job roles have elements which can cause the employee to experience stress.

 

 
Technology has revolutionized our perspective of the world. Email makes us easily accessible, professionals often feel pressured to be online at all times, even while on vacation or outside of traditional office hours.
 
Excessively high workloads, with unrealistic deadlines making people feel rushed, under pressure and overwhelmed. Insufficient workloads, making people feel that their skills are being underused. A lack of control over work activities.
 
Stress does not only affect us on an individual level, but it also impacts on our relations with family, friends, and our colleges at the work place. It also affects different facets of society like socialization, and even the economy, with regards to how stress impacts productivity.
 

 
Today, work related stress is even more difficult (or stressful) than anyone could ever manage. Stress causes disease, and plays a role in how we can successfully perform.
 

Recent studies have proven that having a good work life balance can significantly help to reduce stress in the workplace and therefore stress on your heart.
 
Work-life balance is about creating and maintaining supportive and healthy work environments, which will enable employees to have balance between work and personal responsibilities and thus strengthen employee loyalty and productivity.
