How can we apply stress management to everyday workers? Stressed workers are less productive, more prone to accidents, have more sick days, and cost the company many thousands of dollars on the bottom line.
What should be a good stress management program where employees feel good about coming to work and doing the best job they can.

Hi Javier,
Your query is on how to manage stress. I have the following suggestions:
Stress is often a function of a conflict of interest. Like blood pressure, some stress is essential. Monitoring for levels that are too low or too high is crucial, and intervention may be necessary.
Identify and observe constant stress triggers, patterns, and individuals. Choose to address the root cause and offer counseling if needed.
In a corporate environment, clear communication often helps many stressed individuals see their situations from a different perspective.
Some common stress reduction techniques include practicing Pranayama, a breathing technique. Focusing your attention at the end of your nose, feeling your breath for as little as 30 seconds, can reduce anxiety levels by 15 to 30% in training workshops and classrooms.
Factors like background music, ambiance, lighting quality, room temperature, and noise levels are all linked to stress levels. Natural sounds like rustling leaves or cascading water can be instant relaxants.
Individually, your attitude in the workplace is a key factor in determining stress levels.

Hi Javier,
I would like to contribute some points on stress management. One of the CiteHR members has given a fairly good idea about stress.
Stress is something that we experience in our day-to-day life. We feel anxious to the extent that there are butterflies in the stomach, palpitations increase, and we are not able to concentrate on our work. We will either show a fight/flight reaction to reduce stress. Such kinds of responses to combat stress over a period of time will be detrimental to the mental and physical health of the employees. The biological effects of stress are a concern. It may take the form of acidity, peptic ulcers, not to mention the chances of having heart attacks, and even diabetes associated with the lifestyles of the people.
Basically, internal and external factors contribute to stress. Personality types predispose a person to stress and play an important role in the ways in which employees combat stress. Type A personalities are more prone to stress than Type B; they are at higher risk. Stress for a long period will deplete the individual and ultimately lead to burnout.
Moving on to external factors, if one doesn't have the required skills to perform a job, one will definitely feel inadequate. If they don't seek help from someone, it will definitely be stressful. Unreasonable performance demands are another crucial factor. Interpersonal problems with bosses/colleagues are all stressful. Being unable to meet deadlines is another source of stress in the workplace.
Nowadays, more importance is given to the integration of work and family life. So, corporates should provide facilities like a creche, etc., so that working mothers can lead a normal life.
If corporates can do personality assessments with the help of psychologists, assessing Type A people will help in keeping periodic checks on the problems, if any, faced by them, rather than having a snowball effect. Corporates can conduct yoga classes, relaxation sessions where relaxation techniques can be taught, even regular exercise by providing a gym in the workplace will help. Even at the individual level, breathing exercises while at work can be done. One can control negative thoughts by chanting words like Om/Ma, something which gives a feeling of security, comfort, and belongingness. Even employees can visualize a peaceful, calm, and beautiful imagery for a while. It will be useful.
Corporates can provide yoga classes, relaxation sessions, music therapy, or provide an opportunity to pursue some personal interests/hobbies so that they have a sound workforce - mentally and physically.
