You might already know this, stress causes almost half of all employee workplace related issues.

From low productivity to performance related incidents, and continuous absences to employee turnover, these all lead back to stress.

There’s no question, stress is the infamous part of facility management that facility managers like yourself want to avoid.

Why do you think stress is prevalent at facilities? We’d argue that it’s due to inefficiency.

We’ve been talking about stress more so lately because we’ve realized that inefficiency and stress are correlated to one another. In fact, we’d go as far to say stress is a strong symptom of inefficiency.

When do you don’t have the right processes and solutions in place, inefficiency reveals itself quickly. The result? You and your team are stressed and nowhere close to achieving peace of mind.

Now, as we further understand stress in the workplace, these questions have become obvious:

  • How do you, as a facility manager, manage workplace stress?
  • You’re stressed out enough yourself, how do you coach your team through stress?
  • How do you prevent stress from impacting your facility operations over and over again?

We believe we have your answers, or should we say – your solutions.

Here’s the thing, we know stress is a serious risk to an operation and all its employees. If not handled appropriately, stress can negatively affect employees’ performance and your bottom line.
