Primary Care Commissioning (PCC)

This document discusses stress at work and provides strategies for managing and reducing stress. It defines work-related stress as the pressure or demands placed upon employees. Some signs of stress include concentration issues, mood swings, tiredness, and changes in behavior such as absenteeism or recklessness. Suggested strategies for managing stress include talking to others, deep breathing, finding quiet time, relaxing muscles, and changing negative thoughts. The goal is to make one's mind and body feel better to focus on tasks during difficult times. Building resilience through understanding stressors and stress resistance can help mitigate the effects of stress.
