Why is Managing Stress at Work Important?
Managing stress at work is essential for both your mental wellness and physical health. Every job will involve a certain amount of stress and it is common for employment, work settings, work demands and work pressures to impact our stress level.. When a person's stress level rises above a normal threshold for a sustained period of time or becomes an ongoing occurrence, work-related stress can begin to negatively affect someone's personal life and their mental, emotional and physical health.
Situations in a work setting like: trying to handle friction with a colleague or supervisor, being assigned to / or taking on an unwanted role or job task, or being left to work in and navigate a toxic work environment, can all result in work stress. Prolonged or excessive stress can lead to a range of negative side effects, including:
Burnout: Characterized by physical and emotional exhaustion, detachment, and reduced productivity.
Anxiety and Depression: The development or worsening of anxiety and depression symptoms.
Physical Health Issues: Onset or exacerbation of cardiovascular issues, weakened immune system, and digestive problems.
Relationship Strain: Unmanaged stress at work can spill over into your personal life.
