Stress is perceived as a cause of a single major issue which is health related problems, but we are completely wrong here as it has multifold effects on our body and lives, either directly or indirectly. When an employee get any stress related illness he/she is not the only one faces monetary and health losses but more or less their employer and company are subjected to the same fate too as even a single employee’s absence is enough to bring down the productivity especially if he/she is dealing with some big responsibility.

To deal with such issues the imperativeness of EHS professionals comes into play. They are trained to handle such problems at organisational level and their skillset helps them to do so to ensure workers as well as company’s health.

  2. When stress makes, you feel bad, doing something that you admire and love creates a lot of difference. Finding or creating a hobby/passion is the most reliable and natural way to keep peaceful, and heartening your staffs to do the same could turn out to be valuable.
  3. Working long hours is common in every workplace. So, to retain the productivity high short breaks and relaxation sessions are necessary to relieve stress, anxiety and body achesthat calm the tension in your mind and body. Exercises like yoga and meditation can also be a gamechanger to ensure a happier workforce.
