First, with the stress inventory test I saw that I don&#8217;t have too many things changing in my life at the same time and a low susceptibility to stress-induced breakdowns. However, more things will be changing in the next year so I may reach that 150 point threshold. This tells me that as I&#8217;m leaving school and entering my professional career I need to find ways to deal with possible stress and try to put myself in the best position possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, in the coping and stress survey I found that I cope through problem solving when dealing with stress. According to Psychology Today it&#8217;s a strategy that works well for problems that can be solved but can lead to problems with irreversible problems such as the death of a loved one. I think I&#8217;m lucky to be this way but once I run into problems like the one I mentioned then I will need to find help to get through tough situations like that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards, in the personality survey I saw that I can become irritated and impatient with others but I try not to show it. Apparently I&#8217;m not a high danger individual when considering heart disease from stress which is good to hear. However, I&#8217;ll try to have a better attitude towards such frustrating situations as I get into my career because it could become a bigger issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to: https:\/\/www.shawgibbs.com\/services\/businesses\/hr-services\/employers-can-reduce-stress-in-the-workplace<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5 ways companies can help their employees with stress are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lead by example through having managers that don&#8217;t let their emotions get the best of them. <\/li><li>Introducing workplace wellness schemes such as installing a gym for exercise and promoting a healthy lifestyle. <\/li><li>Constant communication with employees about their performance, goals, and overall their experience in the company. <\/li><li>Provide a relaxing space in the office that employees can go to for some time to cool down. A 15 minute break in such a room could really improve the mood of the employees. <\/li><li>Create social activities so that employees of the company can have more opportunities to like their coworkers and therefore have a more enjoyable time at work. <\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overall I learned that I&#8217;m a calm and mostly stress free person.
