<html> <h3><strong>Be a Model Communicator</strong></h3> <p>Talk to your employees regularly, and keep them up-to-date on the status of the company. A huge source of stress in the workplace is uncertainty, or the feeling of not knowing the company's future and prospects. Reduce stress by sending out regular email updates or have company meetings in which you discuss the goals for the week, month or year. As long as your employees feel like they are on the same page you'll see a reduction in stress from department to department.</p> <h3><strong>Review Employee Work Performance</strong></h3> <p>Reviews often have a negative connotation, but you can make reviews positive. In addition to evaluating employees' performance, talk about ways to improve their performance while also listening to their comments, concerns and suggestions. Often your employees will provide some of the best feedback you need to help prevent work overload and diminished morale.</p> <h3><strong>Increase or Decrease Work Requirements by Employee</strong></h3> <p>Some employees thrive under pressure, while others are best when given fewer but more time-intensive assignments. See how each member of your team is handling their workload and adjust accordingly.</p> <p><img src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2012/02/29/12/11/clerk-18915__340.jpg" width="227" height="340"/></p> <p><a href="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2012/02/29/12/11/clerk-18915__340.jpg">source</a></p> <h3><strong>Heap On the Praise</strong></h3> <p>Sometimes all your employees need to help reduce or prevent workplace stress is some acknowledgment. This can be accomplished directly or indirectly, and both are important for building morale. Praise employees when they do well by stopping by their cubicles and letting them know in person or send them a nice email. Another great way to acknowledge your employees' hard work is to send out a company-wide email highlighting their contributions and how they've helped to push the company forward. Incentives are also a great tool for reducing stress and improving workplace morale. Whether you offer monetary bonuses or more creative rewards such as gift certificates or vacation time, providing a reason to work hard and overcome hardship goes a long way toward keeping everyone focused and positive. </p> </html>
