New Supervisor Training: Manage Your Stress Folks
You’ve surely heard about the need to empower employees to do their best work.
But what you may not know is that effective supervisors also empower
themselves. By overcoming obstacles and taking a proactive approach to
problem solving, the best supervisors sweep away distress and stay focused on
goal attainment.
That’s especially important because supervisors often feel immobilized by stress.
Neither their bosses not their employees may understand the pressures that they
face. Supervisors often operate in isolation, and they may not know what to do
when problems—ranging from real to potential to imagined ones—mount by the
hour. The anxieties can prove overwhelming. You need resources.
Contact your employee assistance professional if you have any questions about
stress management after completing the course. The employee assistance program can help you manage stress so that it doesn’t endanger your health and improves your overall
well-being. And it is not a bad to get a regular hard-hitting, no fluff, hard tips, do this-do that professional newsletter that is one page every month to help you!
