Welcome back to the two-part article series on stress prevention programmes.
If you have not done so already, please read Part I: Forming a Plan for Your Business.
This introductory article explains why stress prevention programmes are becoming more important for businesses. It also lists a few benefits of workplace stress prevention programmes that may help your organization chart specific goals for these programmes.
After reading Part I, you will be ready to follow the steps below to create an actionable stress management plan for your organization.
Creating a Stress Prevention Programme
1. Openly discuss the need for the programme.
As mentioned above, the development and implementation of a full-scale stress prevention programme requires the participation of many different individuals at different levels of the organization.
To begin, openly discuss the need for the programme, its goals, and what is expected of each employee in terms of participation. This can be done through email, a newsletter, or a general office communication. Remember to focus on the benefits that the programme aims to deliver to employees.
2. Conduct a workplace audit.
Next, create a workplace audit by collecting information on production areas, assembly methods, work teams, and all other data that is vital in explaining the manner and scope with which work is completed.
3. Brainstorm.
Next, poll managers and employees to get an idea of the most common stressors encountered during the workplace audit.
Prioritize this list, noting each item that causes high levels of stress. Specifics are important here, so be sure to note the origin and nature of the stress with as much detail as possible. This will make it easier to create solutions to overcome the stressors.
4. Develop solutions.
Finally, develop solutions to combat the most prevalent stressors in the workplace.
Address the high priority items first, as noted in step 3 above.
This process should be similar to the brainstormingstep above, and all members of the organization should be encouraged to participate.
Today, technology can lend a helping hand by offering an easy way for many different individuals to comment on this process.
Your company may start a blog, for example, and produce a short article snippet on each of the high priority items. Each item can be categorized by category or “tag,” and employees may use a comments thread to share ideas.
