-- Scottsdale, AZ, United States – August 6th, 2014 /PressCable/ —
Scottsdale, Arizona (August 5, 2014) – Human resources consultancy firm Towers Watson recently released a
study proving that in the workplace, managers and employees have differing
views on what causes stress and what stress relief programs should be implemented.
According to the study, managers
identify sources of stress as a lack of work/life balance, inadequacies in
staffing, and extended technology pervading into the managers' personal lives. Employees,
on the other hand, see staffing inadequacies, low salaries or low salary
increases, and unclear expectations at work as the roots of their stress at work.
Earl Garrett, spokesperson for
TheDoorwayToStressRelief.com, an online resource on stress management and
stress relievers, expressed agreement with the outcome of the Towers Watson study.
“It's natural for managers
and rank-and-file employees to see stress differently,” Garrett said.
“After all, these two groups occupy different spheres in the workplace.”
Garrett also agrees with the
proposals Towers Watson made through their study, that the managers in the
workplace should make conscious strides towards recognizing sources of stress
in their employees rather than focusing on their own views on stress. All levels
of management should learn how to recognize stress in the ranks and to actively
promote effective programs that will reduce stress in the workplace.
Additionally, Garrett suggests
working on stress relief on the individual level. “Ultimately, it's all
about how the individual employee copes with stress they face at work,” he said.
Garrett states the best way to
fight against stress is to focus on personal health and well-being. This includes
getting the right nutrition and exercise, developing a can-do attitude, and
spending ample me-time pursuing personal hobbies and interests.
“People who put some effort
in taking care of themselves are more capable of dealing with whatever stress
that comes their way, no matter how difficult it gets,” Garret said.
