Supporting your team during stress awareness month
For many people, stress levels rise the moment they wake as thoughts of the day’s schedule, their morning commute, or how to balance their work and home life, commence. Stress can affect individuals physically in the form of headaches or panic attacks, psychologically in the form of irritability or sadness and cognitively in the form of decreased creativity, productivity, or difficulty concentrating. While it can be difficult to avoid these anxious thoughts or their implications, supervisors and managers can support their team and motivate them to develop healthy coping strategies.
During this April’s Stress Awareness Month, Be Well at Work Employee Assistance (formerly known as CARE Services for Faculty and Staff) encourages supervisors to be aware of the signs of stress, offer resources on mindfulness, and consult with Employee Assistance on how to help employees on a path towards better overall health by calling (510) 643-7754
