Workplace Stress Symptoms - What are they and How to Avoid them

Article Category: Career

Author Name: Karen Tax

The Effects of Workplace Stress

Stress symptoms may manifest physically, mentally, emotionally or through a combination of them. A person can experience frequent headaches, drastic changes in weight and more vulnerability to diseases. On the other hand, quickly shifting moods, irritability and indecisiveness are just few of the emotional manifestations of stress.

Because of irritability, a stressed person may easily get angry or instantly have a breakdown upon meeting some obstacles. These propensities to act wrongly will often result to poor performance at work. Ironically, according to 81% of employed Americans, office work is seen as the primary cause of stress. That 81% also say that work-related stress is directly related to inabilities and diseases.

It is not just the individual that aches from workplace stress symptoms. The US loses $200 to $300 Billion every year because of loss of manpower. This large loss is also attributed to absenteeism - again, a stress-related phenomenon. Because of stress-caused disabilities, both blue and white collar workers choose to resign, be self-employed or be entrepreneurs. In high executive positions alone, 50% resign yearly because they feel they "can't handle the job anymore."

External Causes of Work-Related Fatigue

According to studies in the US, about 1.7 million people attribute excessive labor and work hours to globalization. Because of the consumerist inclinations of the US economy, demand for high-quality labor gets higher while benefits for laborers have remained the same.

The dawn of Information and Computer Technology, while intended to decrease human-intensive labor, has caused the decrease of the sense of "corporate community." Today's people feel the need to work more and longer, resulting in more stress.

Personal Factors that Affect Tolerance to Stress

The individual's attitude is a big factor in vulnerability to symptoms to stress, and it qualifies something if it is stressful in the first place. If a person has a good workplace attitude, work will never be "work" in the first place. To survive in the workplace environment, the person must have a positive outlook in dealing with other people, a good sense of humor and a strong drive to achieve a career goal.

What can be done?

External causes seem out of hand . However, much can be done to alleviate the stress symptoms on the personal level. With the aid of experts, you can work on your attitude towards work and the tolerance of a person to stress can be increased indefinitely.

For office workers it is advised to look for a career guide or coach. They can work together to maintain healthy lifestyle and relationships while working. If you hire the right partners, you can have access to professional resources on time management, stress relief and scientific techniques to balance work and life.

Besides courses in balancing life and career, there are also self-help techniques to alleviate stress symptoms. For example, you can perform breathing exercises, yoga and meditation. With a good diet and cardiovascular exercises, you will feel better about yourself. Even if this sounds remotely indirect, it will boost your performance in the workplace. One performs better in dealing with other people when he/she feels good about him/herself.
