To begin

with, they should diagnose what is causing

stress

. If overwork is causing

stress

in the business,

then

they should try to reduce

people

's workload. They should ensure that their

employees

' targets are challenging, but realistic, and make sure that

employees

take their full holiday entitlement. They should check that individuals are well matched to the jobs they've got. From time to time they should review

people

's performance so that they know how they're doing.

Then

they would be able to get feedback, from their staff about potential problems and identify any training they may need.

Employers

should

also

consider whether the employee should work fewer hours, or

otherwise

vary their work. If any of the

employees

are sick, they should keep in touch. If their employee has experienced personal problems,

such

as a relationship break-up or an illness in the family,

employers

should take a sympathetic approach and if necessary, enable and encourage the employee to seek

further

help through their doctor or a counselling service. To sum up,

stress

at the

workplace

is an issue of great concern. Unless the

employers

take some steps to reduce the problem, it can reduce the efficiency of workers, which ultimately is detrimental for the company.
