Workplace stress is one of the main reasons behind a stressful lifestyle. Workload, deadlines and difficult colleagues are some of the reasons behind the stressful environment.One of the main reasons i think that workplace stress gets escalated is because staff does not have a back up plan, especially a fiscal plan. Majority of times a stressful situation gets tied to the employee losing his job & that distracts the employee from focusing on the issue and thereby addressing the issue. The employees should have a back up plan to fall back on irrespective to how long they have been on the job. Adequate fiscal planning should be commenced as soon as theperson starts the job. Having financial security will prevent anxiety turning into toxic stress therefore the mind is not clouded and the situation could be easily addressed.
