Leaders with the power to identify how stress affects the overall health, productivity and morale of the entire organization have a competitive advantage. According to the American Psychological Association’s Stress in America Report stress costs organizations $300 Billion in lost productivity and medical costs every year.

Tackling the causes of stress for the people in your business demonstrates that you really care about them and helps to improve employee engagement which leads to higher performance.

The truth is there’s good stress and bad stress. Good stress motivates us to deal with daily challenges that help us learn and grow. All individuals have a different “ideal” amount of stress that pushes them to achieve their goals. Bad stress is what we feel when we are continually faced with challenges we do not know how to handle.

This type of stress affects people physically and emotionally and has a direct impact on how employees perceive job security and workplace demands. It is your job as a business leader to know the stress levels of your employees and help to correct organizational problems that could be causing that stress.

Have you had the stress conversation with your employees? Do you know if they are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out? Do you know why they are feeling that way? What perception do your employees have of the leadership and culture of your organization? Knowing the answers to these questions is the first step to begin solving the stress problem.

The number one asset every business has is its people and an investment in them is an investment in the future success of your business. You can start diagnosing stress – and begin creating a healthier, more productive workplace by using TTISI’s Stress Quotient assessment for FREE!
