Have you ever asked your health care workers how stressed are they at their work places?
Have you observed whether they are overworked?
Have you noticed whether they are being bullied or conflicted?
Are you flexible in arranging work hours for your employees who are working mothers or fathers?
Do you consider the emotional and physical status of your pregnant workers before doing appraisals for them?
How long has it been since you took initiative to make sure that all your health care staff is getting their rightful breaks in between the work hours?
Work related stress affects the job efficiency of health care staff to a great extent
In a recent survey, it was found that 6 out of 10 nurses world wide have been stressed in their work places due to various factors.
It affects the quality of their daily lives, brings compromise in the care being provided by them and results in a rise in morbidity and mortality rates of employees at a very early age.
Dear employers, it is high time that you think about the solutions to relieve work related stress among our health care staff.
These are some suggestions:-
1)Conduct surveys among health care staff to identify the prime work stressors
2) Provide stress relief techniques training for staff in work places free of cost
3) Arrange counseling services for employees at the work places if necessary
4) Conduct recreational activities regularly
5) Ultimately be approachable for your employees when they tell you they have a problem.Dear employers,
