Take a break
If you can’t avoid a stressful situation, try to
alter it. Figure out what you can do to change
things so the problem does not present itself in
the future. Often, this involves changing the way
you communicate and operate in your daily life.
Additionally, there are a number of
organizational changes that managers and
employers can make to reduce workplace stress.
These include:
Share information with employees to reduce
uncertainty about their jobs and futures.
Clearly define employees’ roles and responsibilities.
Make communication friendly and efficient, not
mean-spirited or petty.
Prioritize task
Make a list of task you have to do, and tackle
them in order of importance. Do the high-
priority items first.
Task projects break into small steps
If a large project seems tempting, make a
step-by-step plan. Focus on one manageable
step at a time, rather than taking on
everything at once.
Delegate responsibility
You don’t have to do it all yourself. If other
people can take care of the task, why not let
them ?
Be willing to compromise
When you ask someone to contribute
differently to a task, revise a deadline, or
change their behavior at work, be willing to
do the same.
Sometimes, if you both curve a little, you’ll
be able to find a happy middle ground that
reduces the stress levels for everyone
concerned.
Stay away from conflict
It’s a good idea to avoid conflict at work as
much as possible. That means don’t gossip,
don’t share too many of your personal
opinions.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
