Tips for Reducing Workplace Stress

Stress-related workers’ compensation claims, absenteeism, health costs, employee turnover and productivity declines account for $300 billion in the United States each year.

To reduce stress on the job:

• Take a Walk.
  Get out of the office and clear your mind.
  
  
• Share Your Concerns with a Friend.
  Don’t bottle up your frustrations. Talk to someone about work-related issues.
  
  
• Prioritize Responsibilities.  
  Wise time management will keep you from trying to do too much at once.
  
  
• Watch Your Thinking.
  When work is a zoo, pause to visualize a serene and quiet place instead of the crisis of the day.
  
• Exercise.
  It’s good for your mental and physical health.
