Ways to reduce stress among staffs?

Answer 1

The boss should make sure that demands made on employees are fair and reasonable. Showing favoritism, correcting them in front of others and failing to sincerely praise good work are all causes of stress.

Answer 2

Sniff Oranges!! Researches have discovered the scent of oranges causes a drop in anxiety, greater sense of calm and a more positive mood.

Sniff Vanilla!! The scent of vanilla has been found by researchers to make people feel more relaxed. Supposedly the scent evokes pleasant memories of childhood - say cookies baking - which reduces anxiety.

When I worked in an office I always looked forward to the monthy "treat days". Each month 2 staff members took their turn bringing in the treats and all the staff would gather during morning break time to share in the treats and have conversations not related to work. Instead of a 15 minute break we took 30-45 minutes. Treats could be anything such as veggie platter, brownies & icecream, samosas, etc.

Answer 3

the senses.

like a good smell in the office. that's a very hard one to get right. but a coffee/vanilla smell is pretty neutral, you need to make sure you have a coffee grinder that is being used to get that affect. fruity smells induce stress in males so avoid any aroma stuff from shops like candles etc.

better stick with herbs, but make sure they don't flower for those sensitive to the pollen.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, this is all too often the case with workers and people need to learn how to manage work stress. Otherwise, you will simply drown yourself in worry and drive yourself batty with concern over your workload and your job security.

Answer 5

Engage them all in some non work related activity as a group. You may be the best judge of what that activity might be. i may take one group to a baseball game and some other group may enjoy a concert!
