Effective Stress Management

I would implement an open forum day to aid in reducing staff stress.

They will be able to discuss their issues on this day. They are not only allowed to discuss work-related topics in this platform; they are also free to discuss problems at home. This is a form of social support—a coping strategy. Employees are allowed to discuss their concerns with Human Resources if they don't want to open up in a "safe circle."

A busy weekend like Saturday would be this.

During this day the employees would carry notebooks and write down how they feel emotionally or anything they would want to talk about. They would do a personal mastery test to ensure that they are working towards their personal vision. This would be guided by a life coach who would help them understand what is hindering them from working towards their visions and goals.

Personal mastery involves clarifying the personal visions day in day out (Senge 1).

For the organization, this means stating their work objectives and strategies to their employees. This will help employees know what they are working towards for a given period. Each employee should have their own organizational goal to work towards.

The vision being worked towards is increasing profits compared to the previous year's profits.

This involves beating the competition using new structures. This means there is change that will occur in the organization.

The creative tension being used is involvement of employees.

This means caring about the employees' wellbeing. This involves training and having counseling services for them. A happy employee means better performance.
