Based on my results from the 3 assessments, I am someone that has a high level of stress in my life and I’m a mix between a Type A and Type B personality. I got so used to being constantly stressed out, due to balancing school and work, that I don’t recognize that it isn’t normal to be stressed out all the time. I think this is something that a lot of people deal with because in that moment, one doesn’t think about how long it’s been since they weren’t stressed. I’ve only realized it after taking the assessments and thinking about how I am constantly creating a checklist in my head of everything I have to get done for the next day.
I think as I progress through my professional career, I should start creating a routine for myself in the morning before I get ready for the day. Having a routine that I can rely on has always been a way to calm myself down in high stress situations. It helps me feel more prepared for the day if I’m starting off on a good note. Another thing I can do to help manage my stress would be to have a designated time in the day where I stop thinking about everything I have to get done and instead do things that I want to do.
Some of the ways organizations help manage their employees’ stress levels is by implementing policies and programs that focus on flexible work arrangements and help disperse people’s workloads. Another way they can help is by training their managers to help employees that are stressed out. Some organizations have also set up counseling services so that employees have someone they can talk to. All of these programs make sure that employees aren’t getting burnt out and that they feel supported by the organization.
