April is recognised as National Stress Awareness Month to bring attention to the negative impact of stress.
The spotlight is on the crucial need for individuals to prioritize stress management techniques and for organizations to foster stress-free environments for their employees.
How can an organization maintain a stress free environment for their workers? Breezy News’ correspondent Oluwasemiloore Ige spoke with a physchologist, Mr. Olaoluwa Awolowo, who noted that an stress-free work environment is conducive to higher morale, increased job satisfaction, and enhanced productivity.
Olaoluwa added that for individuals, stress, when left unmanaged, can significantly impact physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life.
The psychologist advised everyone to adopt healthy coping mechanisms that will mitigate the effects of stress and lead more fulfilling lives while organizations have a responsibility to cultivate environments that support stress management.
