Today we are joined by Laurie Warren, MSN, and founder of Warren Wellness LLC to answer some questions about stress in the workplace. Laurie will be leading a session at TalentCon19 in San Antonio, TX on March 13, 2019, entitled “Fostering Stress Resilience to Unlock Workforce Potential.”
Q: Why does employee stress matter to a company’s success?
It’s important to first define stress. In a word, stress results from perceived adversity. If the perceived adversity is an extremely short-term event, like being grabbed by a mugger, or seeing an oncoming car veer into our driving lane, I call this survival stress and the related biochemical and neurological stress responses in our body can be helpful and life-saving.
