The StressRelief Coach helps successful people and organizations become even more successful. Organizations are in constant pursuit of effective ways to improve performance, retain top talent and reduce cost. One way that is often overlooked is ‘dealing’ with stress – that is, the role stress plays in improving performance or wreaking havoc on the individual, and collectively, the organization.

While it is impossible to eliminate stress – you can keep it from affecting your bottom line.  Your organization will be better positioned in a competitive market to attract and retain employees and talent.  Revitalized employees at all levels are more resilient.  Resilient healthy employees are committed, loyal, engaged, and more productive. Productive companies see all measures of performance soar!

Every organization and individual has a stresshealth quotient – the collective stressor that takes into consideration various preventable and unpreventable stress inputs. Balanced, stress serves as a propeller for increased performance. Unmanaged, individual and organizational stress quotients can get out of controlled. This leads to a series of negative consequences for the individual and the organization. For each of us, the impact of unregulated stress in our lives has significant and unique impact which can include; impaired decision making, elevated blood pressure, reduced resistance to immune disorders, premature disability and premature death. From a leadership perspective, stressed individuals have diminished commitment and loyalty.

Gone is the day when unregulated stress can be considered a part of the game…an indication that the troops are working hard. For the organization the financial impact; lost productivity, turnover, insidious and often unknown without expert analysis.

For the organization looking for ways to improve performance and retain top talent are wise to address the high stress health quotients among high performers and certain employee groups. You may also want to look at preventable contributors to the stress quotient.

Whether it’s the formidable challenges inherent in a fast paced fiercely competitive overworked society, contemporary work stressors; having to produce more with less, downsizing, reorganization, mergers, the ‘unfair’ boss –or– disruptive changes and conflicts in private life such as divorce, loneliness, marriage, addictions that include food, alcohol, drugs, & career—or– the threat of local & global terrorism, dependent care responsibilities, difficulties of  personal aging, family shifts and health—or– our expectations of ourselves & others—or—those inevitable life events such as death of a loved one — almost all of us are “stressed”.  Stress is a reality in today’s world.

Because more than 50 percent of adults report high stress daily, it is likely that stress takes an enormous toll at every workplace. 70% of a company’s value is linked to its human capital* when compared to social or financial capital.  Healthy employees (physical and emotional) are your greatest asset! Health problems caused by stress cost employers approximately two billion dollars annually in poor performance on the job, on-the-job injuries, absenteeism, presenteeism and tardiness.  Did you know that 70 to 80 percent of primary care doctor visits are due to stress? The ‘costs’ of stress are accelerating faster than the cost of a gallon of gas!

*Human capital is the collection of capabilities of the individuals required to provide solutions to customers.  The idea of human capital expands on the view towards labor in that labor is not equal and the quality of employees can be improved by investing in them. The education, experience, and abilities of an employee have an economic value for employers and the economy as a whole.  For more on the value of human capital and corporate productivity go to www.miliken.org
