Anxiety can be a real productivity-killer, in addition to the physical and psychological symptoms that it can cause. There are many sources of anxiety, especially these days, with concerns over COVID-19 remaining foremost in many people’s minds. At Labor Solutions, we understand that people have plenty of things in their lives that can cause anxiety, so we try not to increase their stress and worry over job concerns. Here are tips for helping your employees deal with anxiety.
Stress Less
Labor Solutions has clients across a variety of industries, from agricultural to clerical and more, and we know that every job has its stresses. Stress and anxiety is just a part of life and work that we all have to deal with. There are things we can do to help limit the amount of stress that we cause to those who work under us.
Health, safety and well-being should be top priorities on any jobsite. Different industries have different risks, but workers should have minimal fear regarding their working conditions or environment. Make sure that all appropriate safety protocols are being followed and that there are procedures in place for allowing employees time off when they need to tend to their health.
Another big source of anxiety for many people is uncertainty. Don’t keep employees in the dark about the general state of the company. When things are going well, share that information and make sure that everyone involved knows how appreciated their efforts are. If there are problems or challenges to overcome, communicate that tactfully with the staff as well. It might not be welcome news, but no one wants to be blindsided by a layoff or pay cut, either.
