Counseling about Stress Cooping Strategy for Employees

Every company tries to provide the best service to its customers. Various ways and efforts are made by the company to make it happen. However, not infrequently many companies are not aware that the workload given to their employees is above normal limits which causes employees to experience stress. Job stress occurs because there are sources or work stressors that cause individuals to experience excessive pressure imposed on them due to too many demands, obstacles or opportunities. Employees are required to work faster, more diligently and more tenaciously to achieve the company's business targets. Employee productivity will decrease when employees experience stress. If employees experience stress, it will ultimately damage performance within the company itself. In order for the stress experienced by employees to be well controlled, it is necessary to carry out stress management. Coping is an attempt to deal with a problem experienced by someone.
