Stress At Work

Stress is the major problem suffered in the workplace today.

Stress may be defined as "the adverse reaction people have to pressures or other types of demands placed on them". These pressures or demands may include:

[1] Excessive heat, noise and lighting, poor housekeeping and other aspects of the working environment;

[2] Working conditions such as shift-work, unsociable hours, wages and benefits;

[3] Continual changes (e.g. restructuring, adapting to new technology);

[4] The amount of work (too much or too little)

[5] The lack of control or autonomy over one's job;

[6] Machine paced work (excessive speed required);

[7] Relationships with others (a lack of managerial support or bullying and harassment);

[8] Poor communications (i.e. no regular feedback about performance);

[9] Too much or too little involvement in the decision-making process;

[10] Lack of job security.

[11] The type of organisation (e.g. authoritarian or participative)

A worker who is suffering stress related symptoms might not always recognise them.

Symptoms such as loss or gain of weight, disturbed sleep patterns, emotional upheaval, feelings of tightness in the chest, continual stomach churning, sensation of choking, high heart rate, irritable bowel, giddiness and nausea, may not be recognised as stress related, before the onset of serious mental illness and heart disease.

The last paragraph tells you that a bad emotion can cause physical problems, firstly minor and then major.

The statement :  Stress may be defined as "the adverse reaction people have to pressures or other types of demands placed on them"

The words adverse reaction is the problem.  Take away the adverse reaction and there is no stress.  It is all about how you handle the list of potential problems.

Life Enhancers can take away the adverse reaction you have.  We make you see things another way.  If you are overreacting to a normal situation, we will bring you back to normality.  If on the other hand there is a safety, physical or management problem, you will immediately know and have the courage and confidence to do something about the problem.

If you run through the list of problems again with a different thought, you will see that all are surmountable and therefore the stress will not exist.  No stress, no physical problems.

Not only will we take away all the bad emotions you have permanently; we will teach you how to cope with any future adverse reaction that might come your way.
