Stress is an individual's response to disturbing environmental factors and the consequences of that relationship. It involves the interaction between a person and their environment. Common causes of stress in organizations include too much work, unrealistic deadlines, bullying management styles, poor communication, difficult working conditions, and lack of support. These stressors can increase absenteeism, high staff turnover, reduced employee efficiency, damage to external reputation, and reduced profits. Organizations should carry out workplace audits to assess stress levels, develop policies to support well-being, review practices to identify stressors, train managers in positive leadership, monitor for warning signs, communicate with employees, and educate staff on managing stress.
