Dear Udhav,

I am working in an automobile manufacturing company "Honda" brand. I just need general comments on the said topic because many managers and business owners mistakenly fear that reducing employee stress requires reducing productivity or creating a "country club" atmosphere, which in today's marketplace could be fatal. Nothing could be further from the truth; in fact, the opposite is true.

Thanks,
Samina

Hi,

Thanks for the details.

In general terms, it is the employee's attitude and behavior that determine their response to the organizational culture. Awareness of facts and policies would make employees more comfortable working within the organization.

There are specific areas where you can focus, such as setting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), motivation and awareness programs, and utilizing various techniques to reduce stress, including providing recreational facilities and individual consulting.

Please email me to discuss any particular cases.

With Regards,

Hi Samina,

Employee performance may impact employee stress, or otherwise, or still may not even have a bearing on each other. For instance, good, bad, or consistent performance may not really be a reason for employee stress. The stress may be due to some other unrelated reason. It may be appropriate to deal with them separately and appropriately.

For performance enhancement, a variety of initiatives can be undertaken, such as:

1. Clarity of reporting relationships with no ambiguities
2. Clear job description
3. Job enrichment and enlargement
4. Motivational discourses
5. Effective and periodic counseling
6. Time-off training
7. Staff welfare initiatives
8. Productivity-linked creative exercises
9. Proper span of control (for supervisors/superiors)
10. Proper delegation of responsibility and accountability
11. Commensurate decision-making authority and problem-solving situation/aids
12. Respect for individuals
13. Effective and objective appraisals and reward mechanism
14. Conducive working conditions and work environment.
15. Work destressors

For stress, the most important thing would be to identify stress creators or the reasons for stress for employees. Corrective or preventive action can be initiated based on the reasons contributing to stress. Thus, destressors could be:

1. Meditation/Yoga/Gymnasium workouts
2. Time-offs/work breaks
3. Exercises/Trekking, etc.
4. Corrective postures
5. Recreations - staff/family get-togethers
6. Sabbaticals
7. Corrective policies/systems/processes
8. Improved working conditions
9. Laughter sessions/jokes
10. Improved boss-subordinate relationship building/mending
11. Training sessions, etc.

Hi Rahul,

Your input was great, though I need some help in understanding two terms:
1. Productivity-linked creative exercises
2. Sabbaticals

Can you please help me with how to go about the same?

Priya
