Managing Workplace Stress

The truth is, we can tell when we’re stressed out. Some of us get irritable. Some of us grind our teeth or clench our back muscles. We eat junk food. We get headaches and have trouble focusing. It might seem like being stressed is counterproductive to taking care of work, and that’s because it is. Stress, and its symptoms, are merely the byproduct of a biological system our bodies created, and we grew out of long ago.

Cultivating Workplace Empathy

Empathy is listening. It is actively listening, and reacting and not interrupting them or telling them what they should do. To be empathic, all you have to do is slow down, and take the time to focus on the speaker and engage with what they are saying. When the speaker feels comfortable enough to express how they are truly feeling without shame or judgment, then they truly feel like they are valued at their job.

Needy: Feelings at Work

There’s very little that people can see eye-to-eye on these days. But one thing that we all agree with, is that we are stressed. Every one of us, we all feel stressed. We’ve got bills to pay, appointments to make, our family's annoying us, and the car’s making a funny noise. Whatever it is, we’re overwhelmed and we just need a safe place to vent. For most of us, on our list of Safe Spaces to Relieve Stress, the Workplace ranks somewhere between 9-Year Old’s Birthday Party and Car Stuck In Gridlock Traffic With No AC. And Full of Bees. But it doesn’t have to be.

Empathy: the Net Emotional Index

The past year of social distancing and remote working has turned our ideas of what the workplace should be on its head. Trying to gage how well an employee is dealing with stress at work and at home over Zoom or Slack is nearly impossible.

There is a need for psychologically safe ways to ask for and get emotional feedback in the workplace. Inspired by the Net Promoter Score, Mindful Appy CEO, Tina Schweiger, has developed a way to track the emotional state of a group of people with the Net Emotional Index.
