GREAT TIPS FOR MANAGING STRESS IN WORKPLACE

 Tips for managing stress in the workplace:

    take one task at a time

    organise your daily activities

    organise your desk

    avoid excessive interruptions (the most frequent cause of stress)

    delegate

     helping others

       It gives a great feeling of accomplishment.  Helping others and helping a new employee helps the productivity of the organization.

    have a good sense of humor

       An extremely good antidote to control adequate levels of stress.  Laughter helps decrease the blood pressure.  The ability to laugh at tense situations diffuses the state of stress and creates positive atmosphere.

     prioritize every task and do one task at a time

       The feeling of completing a task gives a great sense of accomplishment that re-energise us to tackle the next task.  Working on the easiest task first helps to develop that feeling of accomplishment and handling the progressively more difficult tasks later is a logical and effective method.

    communicate upwardly and downwardly;

    avoid confrontational discussions; and finally,

    make your boss aware of your workload to avoid excessive assignments with unrealistic time-tables
