It has become a simple fact of life in most work environments where it impacts both the overall level of health and well-being of your employees and their productivity, which hurts your bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.successories.com\/infographic\/employee-stress\">statistics on stress<\/a> in the workplace will terrify you.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Impacts of Stress on Your Employees<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, a staggering 76% of employees cite their\nworkplace as the driving force and most significant contributor to their stress\nlevels, with 77% of stressed out employees reporting the manifestation of\nphysical symptoms as a result of that stress and 73% of employees reporting\npsychological symptoms arising from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It gets worse though.&nbsp;\nFully 60% of stressed out employees say that they\u2019ve contemplated\nquitting their jobs as a means of getting away from their major stressors.&nbsp; How many people do you have working for you right\nnow?&nbsp; What does sixty percent look like\nfor you?&nbsp; How much trouble would your\ncompany be if, in a perfect storm, sixty percent of your workforce broke down\nunder the strain and left?&nbsp; Odds are that\nyour business simply couldn\u2019t weather that storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now consider that a whopping one third of employees report\nthat they are working under conditions they describe as extreme stress and\nconsider how close you might be to a crisis without even realizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stress Impacts Productivity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The statistics above paint a grim picture from the\nperspective of your employees, but there are hard numbers surrounding the\nimpact of stress on your bottom line too.&nbsp;\nHere are a few highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On the average, stress costs employers some $300\nbillion every year, manifesting itself in the form of missed work and health\nissues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>54% of workers report that stress causes them to\nbecome argumentative, which can be devastating to your company\u2019s culture and\ndestroy any hope of a harmonious work environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Globally, 87% of employees report feeling\nemotionally disconnected and ambivalent about their jobs.&nbsp; An ambivalent employee is a less productive\nemployee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A stressed-out employee is approximately 10%\nless productive than a non-stressed employee.&nbsp;\nMultiplied out by the number of stressed employees you have, the total\ncost can be staggering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously then, it\u2019s a major problem and at first glance,\nyou might think it\u2019s an intractable one.&nbsp;\nThat\u2019s thankfully not true.&nbsp; There\nare a number of things you can do to reduce workplace stress and improve\nworking conditions for the people who work for you.&nbsp; Best of all, these are things you can start\nintroducing right now, today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The power of smiles.<\/strong>&nbsp; Smiles put everyone at ease and are contagious.&nbsp; The more you do it, the more your employees will and gradually, more smiling faces at work will begin to lift everyone\u2019s spirits.&nbsp; It sounds silly but it really does work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The power of good morning.&nbsp; <\/strong>You may not realize it, but many of your employees may think of you as distant and unapproachable.&nbsp; You\u2019re the boss after all.&nbsp; The simple act of saying good morning and stopping to talk with the people who work for you can have a powerful, profound impact and put people more at ease almost instantly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encourage healthy eating habits.<\/strong>&nbsp; You can do that by offering healthy food options in the vending machines you have at work and if you\u2019ve got a cafeteria, instruct your kitchen staff to start offering healthy options, especially at breakfast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encourage your employees to listen to music<\/strong> at work to help them relax.&nbsp; Using ear buds of course.&nbsp; That might not be possible in every case, but where it is possible, it will have a big impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be sure to hand out stress relievers &amp; stress balls<\/strong> as part of your employee recognition program.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.successories.com\/unique-corporate-gifts\/fun-motivational-gifts\/stress-relievers\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stress relief gifts<\/a> are low cost, fun little gifts that will make a notable difference.&nbsp;

A staggering 40% of people cite stress as the reason they leave their jobs to find another. It\u2019s the #1 cause of job turnover in America. Anything you, as owner or manager, do to reduce the stress levels of the employees working for you has to be counted as a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you believe that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.successories.com\/blog\/how-and-why-stress-balls-work\/\">the humble stress ball<\/a> can reduce the stress levels of those who use them? It\u2019s true! Beyond that, stress balls offer a variety of other benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stress Relievers Can Help Relieve Arthritis Pain and Ward Off Capral Tunnel Syndrome<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the biggest benefit of the stress ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have arthritis, you know that rubbing your aching joints will make them feel better. Squeezing a stress ball accomplishes the same goal, just in a slightly different manner. It stimulates the nerves in the palms in such a way that it increases endorphin production. In addition to stimulating nerves in the palms that transmit signals to the brain to increase endorphin production, a stress ball strengthening muscles in the hand. Between the strengthening and the endorphin production, a stress ball cannot only relieve arthritis pain, but possibly prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can Help with Anxious Behaviors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know a foot tapper? A desk thrummer (someone who wraps their fingers in a rhythmic pattern on their desk while they\u2019re working)? Odds are that you do. These are habitual nervous behaviors, and simply by giving your body something else to do, in this case, squeezing a stress ball, you can break those nervous habits in short order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s good for the person with the nervous habit, because its loss will often increase productivity, but it\u2019s also good for everyone around him or her, because such habits can often be quite distracting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The act of squeezing tenses the muscle. When the ball is released, it also releases stress from your hand and arm. This relaxed sensation produces a general feeling of release and relaxation. The Reflexology Theory has proven that the sense of relaxation you feel when playing with a stress ball strengthens the vital organs by enhancing blood circulation through the body and helping the energy pathways function more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Improve Concentration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can usually tell if someone has difficulty concentrating by their vacant stare and their constantly fiddling with something in their hands. Studies have shown that the simple act of squeezing a stress ball rhythmically improves a person\u2019s focus. Say goodbye to those vacant midday stares! Improve concentration by giving the person tangible to focus on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given all these benefits, it\u2019s no wonder that the humble stress ball is such a popular office gift. If a majority of your employees don\u2019t already have them, you should consider remedying that as soon as is practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Employee Gifts To Relieve Stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Decrease stress and improve focus and productivity with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.successories.com\/unique-corporate-gifts\/employee-gifts\/1\">stress relieving employee gifts<\/a> from Successories.
