Tackling Rising Stress Levels in the Office

DUBLIN,January 2, 2013/PRNewswire/ --

It has been suggested in recent studies that stress in the workplace is on the

rise. This is reportedly largely down to the fact that people do not currently

feel in a position of confidence with relation to their employment future. With

job security down, it is harder for people to take sick days when they need

them and harder for them to take a break when stressful situations arise.

Unfortunately, the natural result of this sort of situation in the workplace is

increased levels of stress that eventually require longer periods of sickness

to treat and correct. The CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and

Development) recently commissioned a study absence levels in the

workplace, finding that average sick days for working people have fallen from

7.7 a year to 6.8 a year per employee.

However, the argument is not that people are healthier nowadays, but people

are putting up with more in the name of job security - something that is liable

to have a negative impact in the long run. Dr Jill Miller, lead member of the

research team, was keen to point out that employers need to have a

"proactive approach to supporting employee wellbeing" in order to avert

further stress and anxiety problems among their workforces.

One of the ways employee wellbeing is supported in the office is through

better office design - through more convenient and more comfortable

surroundings that contribute to create a more attractive environment for

people to work in.
