The workplace can be a very stressful and demanding environment; there are demands from clients and more demands from the Employer, the management teams and colleagues.
When work is stressful it is difficult to focus on the job properly and then problems begin to arise with work performance
and your effectiveness at work.
and your effectiveness at work.
When there are pressures and stress at the workplace it can put you off from going to work and stop you from enjoying going to work. When you don’t enjoy going to work your tempo and enthusiasm will be lacking and most times this is picked up on by the employer or your colleagues.
The stress that it causes can also cause problems at home, as human nature is to take your emotions out on those nearest and dearest to you, which causes more conflict and further stress at home as well as at work.
When there is too much pressure at work mistakes can also be made, such as monetary mistakes or general clumsiness which often leads to investigations and more pressure at work, as there is a further risk of losing your job and being able to gain employment else where due to the nature of the mishap.
There can be pressure at work to work at a certain pace which people cannot keep up with which can be disheartening and cause you stress and make you unhappy. Your employer may always be picking on you and making you miserable through making you miserable with the ongoing criticisms.
Colleagues can also cause you stress when they criticise, grumble and make you feel that you do not work hard enough or that you work too hard and colleagues feel under pressure to keep pace with you or that you are causing them problems in their employment.
When you are stressed at work and unable to focus it can make you feel ill and to the point where you are phoning in sick to work or your work effort is on the slide.
When your work performance is lower and you are trying to get another job then it is harder to get another job as references from the current employer will be negative rather than positive which can further make you feel worse about your employment.
