Effective Stress Management in the Workplace

Stress in the workplace is a common issue that can affect employees' mental health, well-being, and productivity. When managed properly, however, stress can be a motivating factor that drives individuals to perform at their best. On the other hand, unmanaged stress can lead to burnout, absenteeism, and a decline in work performance. Effective stress management is therefore essential in maintaining a healthy, productive work environment.
