Discover the answer in this 1-minute video about managing stress.
How to manage stress at work?
Why you and your colleagues need to manage stress becomes easy to understand when observing the data from the 2019 'Cigna 360 Well-being survey'.
This Cigna study revealed stress data based on observations made in workplaces within 23 different countries.
The outcome was alarming as 9 out of 10 employees felt stressed.
When asked, most people don't admit their stress levels face to face. However, they feel safe to reveal it when their answers stay private. So, asking if are you stressed may often give you the wrong impression.
Everyone can benefit from having intrapersonal skills
People can't deal with stress as they lack practical and applicable intrapersonal skills. Skills that help them to deal with their inner reactivity and stay focused on the task at hand.
It is obvious that high-stress levels have a huge impact on people's work results and lower employee engagement. When you are unwell, it becomes hard to get things done.
Being able to manage stress influences work results and employee engagement positively. You see less procrastination, more initiative and personal responsibility.
Stress isn't only a personal agenda. Observe the following fact from the above-mentioned Cigna study:
91% of workers say that their colleagues' stress has an impact on their own work results.
Low employee engagement levels and stress overlap
Approximately 70-80% of employees are stressed and the same amount demonstrates low engagement levels.
It becomes very difficult to be engaged with something when your mind is stressed and worried.
Intrapersonal skills that allow you and your colleagues to manage stress successfully will also nip the burnout problem in the bud and improve employee engagement.
The average engagement level with work is globally currently only 21% and only a third of employees say that they are thriving in their lives. This data is according to the Gallup 'State of Global Workplace' 2022 report (see the graph below).
How big is the room for improvement?
Learning intrapersonal skills and how to manage stress can improve employee engagement and also allows prevent burnout and work-related mental health issues.
One year earlier, in 2021 Gallup's report 'State of Global Workforce 2021', you can see that those workplaces where work culture and employee wellness are profiting from a totally different picture (discover the graph below)!
In best practice workplaces mind health and work culture are valued, thus such teams can see employee engagement levels up to 73%.
When employees manage stress well, it will lower procrastination and significantly improves work results.
However, there are more benefits! When stress levels are lower you have fewer sick leaves and health problems and people know how to nip their burnout in the bud. Taking stress management to every employee allows even to improve interpersonal relations (including client relations).
